  • Page 54: System Alignment

    System Alignment System alignment is the adjustment of the Light source and Receiver components relative to the base of the M-2000 system (in the “straight-through” configuration). The straight-through configuration is when the angle of incidence is set at 90°; the beam of light will directly enter the receiver (the sample is not needed in this case).

These situations occur if the M-2000 box or light source has been replaced.
