Collecting a Spectrum
To select the sample compartment beam path and load the related settings, press the Touch
Point next to the sample compartment.
If you are using the iS50 ATR module, press the Touch Point next to that module.
You can customize and save measurement settings for each of the Touch Points.
For the purposes of this getting started exercise, we will assume the default settings are in place.
Step 2: Measure the background
When the software switches to the settings for the main sample compartment, press the Touch
Point again to start the measurement.
If there is not a current background measurement, the software prompts you to measure the
background. Make sure your sample holder or accessory is set up for a background collection
(refer to the previous table) and then press the Touch Point to start the measurement.
If your system has purge shutters, the software will display a purge delay message when needed.
When the software shows the background preview, press the Touch Point to measure the
background.
