    HIGH1, HIGH2, HIGH3 of Measurement Sensitivity For the AQ6370C or AQ6373 Even when the measurement sensitivity of the instrument is set to HIGH1 or HIGH2 or HIGH3, the chopper cannot operate unless the CHOP MODE setting of the SENS/MODE key is set to SWITCH. However, with AQ6317 series instruments, if the measurement sensitivity is set to HIGH1, HIGH2, or HIGH3, a chopper that removes monochrometer stray light is activated.
