SECTION 7

– SPECTRUM

The spectrum measurement mode enables measurements of absorbance or % transmittance over a

range of wavelengths to be performed. The absorbance or % transmittance at each wavelength is

plotted graphically. Post measurement tools such as peaks and spectral points analysis can be

performed. This operating mode can be used to partially characterise a sample.
