3: Operating the Spectrometer
Acquiring Spectra
► Procedure
1. Remove the sample holder cover.
2. Place the sample cuvette in the sample holder and adjust its distance from the lens using the Z-
axis knob. Then, replace the cover.
3. Turn the laser safety key to the On position (vertical) to activate the laser. The laser is not active
at this point. A signal is sent to the spectrometer’s processor requesting activation of the laser.
The LED on the spectrometer lights. Two seconds after the processor receives the laser activation
request, the processor sends the activation signal to the laser controller. The laser is now
operating.
Note
If you attempt to take a scan with the laser off, a warning appears in SpectraSuite:
4. If you have not already done so, start the SpectraSuite software application.
SpectraSuite should now recognize the spectrometer (a picture of the spectrometer appears in the
Data Sources pane of the SpectraSuite window).
