To use RESIV.EXE, it should reside in a directory containing the XL scans and the Lamp irradiance
files.
1.
The program is launched by typing "RESIV".
2.
At the prompt, the instrument number is entered.
3.
All lamp files and XL scans matching that instrument are read into a list. The list shows all
scans - any scans that do not have a lamp file available are marked with a '!' .
4.
The scans to be processed are selected by ranges and lists of numbers (ie. "2,5-7,12",
results in scans 2,5,6,7, and 12 to be processed. Scans that have no lamp files are skipped.
5.
If a new response file is desired, the filename of the new file is entered in the form form
UVRJJJYY.NNN.
6.
The new response file is placed in the C:\BDATA\NNN directory, and OP_ST.NNN must be
edited to include the new response file name.
The response file calculated each time will be affected by temperature (lower response with higher
temperatures), lamp positioning, and power supply stability. Changes from accepted response
values of more than 5% should prompt investigation into the discrepancy. Statistics from the
response calculations should give percent standard deviations of <1.5% to be considered
acceptable.
Lamp Irradiance Files
RD_UX.EXE is used to process external lamp scans from the XL or UL routine to produce lamp
irradiance files. The input files are in units of raw counts per second, the output files have units of
2
W/m
/nm or mW/m
Instructions:
1.
Create a test directory and copy RD_UX from the uv-lamp directory to the test directory.
2.
Copy the UL or XL file(s) that you wish to process to the test directory.
3.
Create a /nnn directory in your test directory (nnn is your Brewer number).
4.
Copy the appropriate UV response file into the /nnn directory.
5.
Run the RD_UX program and follow the directions given.
6.
A list of all scans is displayed and the user is asked to select the scans to be used.
7.
A single processed file will be prefixed by the letter "P" such as, PXLJJJYY.nnn. If individual
files for each scan were requested, then individual files of the form PXLJJJSS.nnn will be
produced - where SS is the sequence of the scan.
8.
The P file (or files) represent the irradiance of the lamp used.
