Spectroscopy — Overview
Operation of the system is much easier if you understand the implementation
models. The mind-models of data acquisition, data evaluation and data
handling will help you to run the system successfully.
Your spectroscopy system is based on an Agilent 8453 spectrophotometer and
general purpose Agilent ChemStation software for UV-visible spectroscopy
running on a PC with the supported Microsoft operating system(s). These two
components are linked together by a network connection. This type of link is
very flexible: it can be used for a direct connection between the
spectrophotometer and the PC as well as the integration in a enterprise
network with network access from the PC to the spectrophotometer.
The tasks are split between these devices such that the spectrophotometer
acquires and provides absorbance data which are handled by the PC's
application software. All of the data display, evaluation and longterm storage
is done under software control on the PC.
