Before performing a spectral analysis in the Drift mode, you must set up
the test application with the appropriate parameters, as explained in this

Select the Drift test mode as explained in Selecting a Test Mode on page 12
before setting up the Drift test parameters.

The preferences are the result displayed in the graph and tables, as
well as the job information and related comments saved with each file.

calculation methods.

The acquisition parameters include the type of measurement you want
to perform and the wavelength range.
