iCAP Customer Familiarisation Manual
This will bring a page up with several options.
1. The 'Warm Up' time is normally set to 15 minutes to enable the system to stabilize prior to
spectrometer optimization.
2. 'Spectrometer Optimization' is normally turned on to make an automatic minor adjustment to
the spectrometer optics.
3. 'Run Performance Checks' will run the factory recommended performance test using defined
sample introduction and Standards. (On installation the Torch Alignment and Autopeak must
be completed first).
4. Use Manual Sampling. If an autosampler is configured this will enable the use of manual
sampling.
Clicking OK will turn the plasma on and spectrometer optimization will be performed. During
these procedures the remaining warm-up time is shown in the Dashboard page.
▲ Note: To allow the plasma to stabilize leave Plasma on with blank solution running for about 10
minutes before carrying out an analysis.
