Abstract
The Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory has completed 4 years of observation s comprising a full-sky survey and several deep pointings. The Crab is one of the strongest perma- nent sources in the CGRO energy range (20 keV to 10 GeV). Its total (pulsed and unpulsed) emission is often use d as a calibration standard. We present the results of an analysis of data from all four CGRO instruments obtained during contemporaneous Cr ab observations made during Phase I, II and III between 1991 and 1994. Emphasis is given to the cross-calibration of the four CGRO instrumen ts.
