The following sections detail the types of data you can save:
Dark
A dark spectrum is a spectrum taken with the light path blocked.
Select File | Save | Dark from the menu to save a dark spectrum.
Sample Dark
A sample dark spectrum is a spectrum made in time normalized mode with the integration time set to that
of the sample spectrum.
Select File | Save | Sample Dark from the menu to save a sample dark spectrum.
Reference
A reference spectrum is a spectrum taken with the light source on and a blank in the sampling region.
Select File | Save | Reference to select and open one or more reference spectra.
Sample
A sample spectrum is a spectrum taken while in scope mode with the sample in the sampling region.
Select File | Save | Sample to select and open one or more sample spectra.
Processed
- General Functions Toolbar
Processed spectra are spectra taken while in scope, absorbance, transmission, or relative irradiance mode.
You can take these spectra after taking dark and reference spectra.
Select File | Save | Processed to select and open one or more processed spectra.
Experiment
Saving an experiment saves the stored dark, reference, sample, and processed spectra, along with all
overlays and acquisition parameters in the experiment
Select File | Save | Experiment to save the complete set of acquisition and processing parameters for the
