Noise Test Procedures

This section describes some procedures, which can be helpful for
troubleshooting and help the user to distinguish detector issues from issues
caused by other elements contributing to the measurement result like solvents
or the column. 4 tests are described, which add more of these elements step by
step, so their contribution can be measured.

Agilent 1260 Infinity ELSD User Manual
The electronic noise test measures the signal created by the detector
without irradiation and solvent flow.
The background noise/stray light test measures the signal measured by the
detector, while the light source is on, but no sample or solvent flow through
the detector
The solvent noise tests measures the signal created by pure solvent flowing
through the detector while no column is installed
The column noise test measures the signal created by pure solvent flowing
through the column and the detector.
