At continue click Yes, to cancel click No or Cancel. If the wavelength is changed then the baseline
must be performed again at the new wavelength and scan interval, before a sample can be
measured. Alternatively a new spectrum tab can be opened and the required settings can be entered.
5.3 SAMPLE MEASUREMENT
Insert the cuvette containing the
sample into the sample chamber and
close the instrument lid.
Click on the Scan button; the
instrument initiates the scan and the
live spectrum scan is displayed on
the screen. The results are also
displayed in a table. To stop the scan
before completion click on the Stop
button. To restart the scan click on
the Repeat button – the scan is
restarted from the beginning.
If the same sample needs to be measured more than once click on the Auto Log button. The
instrument will perform the required number of readings with the specified time interval between each
measurement. Unlike with photometrics, concentration and quantitation the Auto Logged results will
not be displayed on the same screen. For each repeat measurement required a new tab is
automatically opened, displaying the new spectrum scan and results. Auto logging can be stopped
before all the measurements have been completed by clicking on the Stop button. To recommence
auto logging click on the auto log button again.
If the settings menu is re-entered following sample measurement it is not possible to change the start
and end wavelengths or the scan interval. A new spectrum tab can be opened and the new
wavelength can be entered.
Once the spectrum scan is complete the post analysis tools become active.
