Analyzing the Results
Analyzing the Results
The Analysis step analyses acquisitions taken, providing a result for 16
lines; the average of these results determines the average deviation to be
applied to all of the calibration constants on the IQS-9401 WRM. The first
column of Results lists the wavelengths that have been certified in
nanometers, and the second lists the deviation detected by the system, in
picometers. The average deviation found is the value, in picometers, that
will be applied to all calibration constants of the IQS-9401 WRM module.
If the cell was not connected during the Acquisition procedure, no results
will be available (N/A) and an error message will be displayed. In addition,
if one or several of the 16 lines were not detected on one or several of the
20 acquisitions, the same error message will be displayed. If application of
the average deviation is desired, the next step, Calibration Tools, will
become available to perform it.
