Agilent Cary 8454 UV-Visible Spectrophotometer — Overview 22
General Purpose Agilent ChemStation Software for UV-Visible
Spectroscopy — Overview 30
This chapter introduces the principles of data acquisition, data evaluation and
data handling to help you to run your system successfully.
Your spectroscopy system is based on a UV-Visible spectrophotometer with
general purpose Agilent ChemStation software for UV-Visible spectroscopy,
running on a PC with a supported Microsoft Windows operating system. The
spectrophotometer and PC are linked 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 for integration in a enterprise network
with network access from the PC to the spectrophotometer.
The spectrophotometer acquires and provides absorbance data which is
handled by the PC's application software. All of the data display, evaluation
and long term storage is done under software control on the PC.
