Vision requests a “Standard File”. This is provided
on a mini-CD, packed in the wooden box with the
standards.
Insert this mini-CD into the A: drive, select that
drive in the dialog box, and click on the
RSS1xxxx.da file as shown. (The serial number will
be different, of course.) Click “Open”.
The standard file is “NSAS File” format, which
refers to an older software package. This format is
used where it aids in file transfer.
Vision displays the wavelength regions for
test.
For reflectance instruments, these regions
give a good overall picture of instrument
performance and repeatability. The
wavelength areas are chosen in flat parts of
the standards spectra for stability.
For Number of Replicates, retain the default
setting of 1.
Click on “OK”.
Vision will begin to take an instrument
reference scan, if the instrument is operating
in Reference Standardized mode. The red
progress bar at the bottom of the screen
indicates status.
If operating in Reference Standardized mode,
Vision requests the 99% standard from the
set.
If not operating in Reference Standardized
mode, Vision requests the 80% standard,
which is used in place of the internal
instrument reference.
