Overview
Vision provides a complete set of diagnostics functions to test whether the Metrohm instrument
performs according to the manufacturer’s specifications. Instrument performance tests verify the
reliability of NIRSystems spectrophotometers, which insures the linearity, limits of detection, and
precision of NIR methods.
The Vision software drives all Metrohm spectrophotometers. There are differences in the
performance and diagnostic testing associated with the instruments. For the Model 5000 and 6500
instruments, please refer to the Instrument Performance Test Guide for further explanation on
performance tests. For the XDS instruments, there are additional set-up and evaluation diagnostics,
with slight differences for the various analyzers. Proper application of these tests is recommended to
ensure instrument matching and the seamless transfer of calibration methods developed on the XDS.
There are specific requirements for process instruments as well. Refer to the instrument manual for
your particular instrument. For tests that require the use of external standards, be careful that the
correct standards are used depending on your instrument type. Please be sure to follow the correct
section in this manual for your particular instrument type.
