Data Acquisition Mode

3.1

Introduction

Data acquisition mode controls instrument configuration and diagnostics, spectral acquisition, spectra
viewing and management, export and import of data, and security.

When the user logs into Vision, the Data Acquisition mode is entered by default. The last active
project is opened, and if the instrument was connected during the last session, Vision tries to connect
it.

3.2

Creating and Configuring a New Project

The Project is a basic unit of data storage in Vision. Each Project represents a separate database,
which includes spectra, constituent values, and instrument configuration. Before any data (instrument
diagnostics or spectral data) can be collected, a Project must be setup.

3.2.1

Creating a New Project

Click on File/Project/New on the main menu. If an existing Project is currently open, you will be
prompted to close it.

A Create New Project dialog box opens.

Enter a Project name and location for the Project. The default location is C:\Vision unless specified; a
Browse button is available for easy access to other locations.
