Xcalibur saves the file with an SPDA file extension.
Note The SPDA file extension is a special file extension used for all method files
based on Diode/Intensity units. These methods cannot be used in the Sequence
Setup portion of the Xcalibur data system. Files with the SPDA extension can
only be loaded and used in the Direct Control dialog box. They are not tracked
by the auditing feature in the Xcalibur data system.
If you move your Surveyor PDA Plus Detector, replace lamps, or install a new flow cell, the
system performance can change. Verify that the detector is running as desired by performing
the following operation verification procedure on your Surveyor PDA Plus Detector.
To verify the proper operation of the Surveyor PDA Plus Detector, perform the following
procedures:
1. Preparing to Verify Lamp Performance
2. Viewing an Intensity Scan of the Deuterium Lamp
3. Viewing an Intensity Scan of Both Lamps
4. Viewing an Intensity Scan of the Tungsten Lamp
