If the transmittance spectrum in register 0 is acceptable and you want to

collect data from another sample; press the

key and move the

spectrum into register 2 or save it as a file. The updated PlotLegend dialog
box will appear as shown in Figure 5-4.

If you want to save a spectrum, make sure that it is displayed in the spectral
region, as only displayed spectra can be saved.

NOTE: If you press the scan key again without moving the data, the data
in register 0 will be overwritten.

If desired, you can copy the data in register 0 to an existing register and
overwrite the data in that register. This feature might be used if you noted that
there was an error in the data in register 2 and wanted to repeat the scan.

If you want to overlay spectra, press the

key. An example of the

overlay of two transmission spectra is shown in Figure 5-5 (the pale blue
spectrum in Register 1 is from polystyrene and the dark blue spectrum in
Register 2 is polymethylmethacrylate. Only the newest spectrum will be the
active spectrum in the register (i.e. it can be saved).
