model, module and amplifier type, number of scans) and selected performance
test parameters (like pass/fail limits).
Connect the instrument
1. Click on Acquire  Connect
Create Data Collection Method
1. In the Select Data Collection Method dialog box click on [New]
2. In the Edit Data Collection Method dialog box enter a name for the
DCM.
We recommend the following structure for DCM naming: “name of
instrument” – “detector type”. For example:
 Method e.g. “RCA_solids_reflectance”
3. Apply module specific parameters, e. g. spot size.
4. Click on [OK]
From this point, creating a DCM depends on the type of instrument connected.
Detailed descriptions of the procedures can be found in the NIRS Vision
Tutorial Instrument Calibration (8.105.8012EN).
Wait until instrument stabilization has finished.
2.5 Instrument Setup Diagnostics
For each instrument the following diagnostic tasks must be performed:
1. Wavelength Linearization
2. Reference Standardization
3. Instrument Calibration
4. Performance Test
The procedure of the instrument setup diagnostics depends on the type of
instrument connected.
Please follow the detailed descriptions for each instrument type in the NIRS
Vision Tutorial Instrument Calibration (8.105.8012EN).
