routine or any other key to get back to the USER DIALOG.
• Press  to quit the USER DIALOG or  to select another func-
tion.

6.4 NEW D2 LAMP

Use this function to automatically optimize a new Deuterium lamp
in the ray path and measure the lamp emission. It may take as
much as 3 minutes to run this task.
• In the USER-Dialog advance to the function NEW D2 LAMP in
(by means of the  key).
• Use the key  to select the D2 lamp optimizing function; the
message CONFIRM: LOAD POS appears.
• Proceed as outlined in the NEW HG LAMP part.

6.5 NEW W LAMP

Use this function to automatically optimize a new Tungsten lamp
in the ray path and measure the lamp emission. It may take as
much as 2 minutes to run this task.
• In the USER-Dialog advance to the function NEW W LAMP (by
means of the  key).
• Use the key  to select the Tungsten lamp optimizing function;

This function contains some basic information about the system
that can be useful for diagnosing an error condition, e.g. in a tele-
phone contact with the service engineer.

Technical data

•
Halogen Tungsten lamp: continuum 350 - 900 nm.
•
Mercury vapour lamp:
•
Deuterium lamp: continuum 190 - 450 nm.
All lamps are built into the instrument; the mechanical switch of the
lamps is triggered automatically by a stepper motor. The lamps are cur-
rent or voltage stabilized.
The lamp power supply is built into the Scanner 4.
The slit is automatically illuminated with a visible wavelength (546 nm) if
the compartment illumination is turned ON.
