Spectrometer System Description
System components
The AAnalyst 700 is a compact benchtop spectrometer. The major components of
the system are:
The spectrometer, containing the optical system, the electronics, and the
atomizer compartment.
The burner system, mounted on a carriage that can be driven into and out of
the atomizer compartment by software command (see 'Burner design' in the
Burner System User's Guide for more information).
The graphite furnace, mounted on a carriage that can be driven into and out of
the atomizer compartment by software command (see 'Furnace design' in the
Graphite Furnace User's Guide for more information).
The furnace autosampler, mounted on a swing arm in front of the atomizer
compartment (see 'Autosampler design' in the Graphite Furnace User's
Guide for more information).
The (optional) furnace cooling system (see 'Cooling the furnace' in the
Graphite Furnace User's Guide for more information).
The computer and the associated AA WinLab software.
The printer; this is optional but strongly recommended.
System control
To control the spectrometer and perform your analyses, you use the AA WinLab
application program, which runs under the Microsoft Windows operating system.
The computer keyboard, the screen, and the mouse form the user interface.
When you switch on the spectrometer system it performs an initialization
procedure to check the instrument. While the spectrometer is operating, the
control system continually monitors many instrument functions. It generates
appropriate messages when a problem occurs and prevents potentially hazardous
situations from arising.
You can obtain more information about the application program in the AA
WinLab online help.
