Spectrometer Menu
Functions
Scan-usually Continuous
Select Spectrometer | Scan from the menu to take a
scan of your sample. When in Single mode, (seldom
used) the Scan function acts as a snapshot. The button
depresses and Stop replaces Scan. The button will stay
depressed until the scan has been completed (the time
set in the Integration Time box).
When in Continuous mode, the Scan button
continuously takes as many scans of the sample as
needed. After each integration cycle, another scan
immediately begins. The button depresses and Stop
replaces Scan. Select Spectrometer | Scan from the
menu or click on the Stop button to halt the scanning
process and discontinue acquiring data.
Insert Event in Log File
During a timed data acquisition procedure, you can
enter text into the log file by selecting Spectrometer
| Insert Event in Log File. A dialog box then
appears allowing you to enter text. In the log file, this
text appears next to the data that was acquired at the
time you entered the text. Both the Time Chart and
Log switches in the display window should be turned
to the On position to use this feature.
Enable Strobe Not normally used
If you have configured the spectrometer to control
the LS-450 selecting this function in the software
allows you to enable or disable the triggering of the
LS-450 Blue LED light source. The value entered in
Flash Delay of the Timing tab in the Configure
Spectrometer dialog box sets the delay, in
milliseconds, between strobe signals of the LS-450
Blue LED light source.
Calculate Sensor Values with Scan
When you first start OOISensors, the values
displayed in the Data Values boxes to the right of
the Spectral Graph will appear illogical. These
values will continue to appear this way until you
have calibrated your system. If you don't want to see
these illogical values displayed, deselect
Spectrometer | Calculate Sensor Values with
Scan.
Once you have calibrated your system, this function
should always be enabled (or have a check mark in
front of it) if you want the oxygen values displayed.
