SECTION 7
– SPECTRUM
The spectrum measurement mode enables measurements of absorbance or % transmittance over a
range of wavelengths to be performed. The absorbance or % transmittance at each wavelength is
plotted graphically. Post measurement tools such as peaks and spectral points analysis can be
performed. This operating mode can be used to partially characterise a sample.

options are selected with the corresponding function
buttons.
