Vision requests a “Standard File”. For
Photometric Test, use the RSSVxxxx.da file
stored in the Vision directory. This file was
created during IPV Setup. Current
photometric readings will be compared to
that initial file.
Click on the RSSVxxxx.da file as shown. (The
serial number will be different, of course.)
Click “Open”.
Do not use the file on the standards mini-CD
for Photometric Test, as it will cause Vision to
return an error message.
Vision requests a tolerance file. The tolerance
file was loaded in the C:\Vision directory, and
is an “XDA” formatted file.
Select this file and click “Open”.
Note that subsequent versions of this file may
be named IPVXDS02, 03, or higher numbers.
As additional XDS instruments are supported,
the file name is updated. The tolerances for a
given instrument are not changed in any way
as new files are issued.
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.
