Page 4: Tacticid-1064 St Safety Overview
TacticID-1064 ST Safety Overview The TacticID-1064 ST is a handheld Raman instrument designed for rapid identifications of unknown materials based on their Raman spectral sample. The instrument has a touch screen with intuitive software for easy operation by specialists and non-specialists alike. The functions, general instrument configurations, and scanning and identification of samples are done through the embedded software TOS-XM (TacticID-1064 ST Operating System), while data management and reporting are done by either direct report export, or synchronizing the instrument data onto a PC via the TacticID-... - Page 5 address, model number, maximum laser power, serial number, manufacturing date, and power supply specifications.
