5. Create different parameters for the new spectral window, such as a different integration time.
Remember that one spectral window can operate with up to 8 channels and 8 overlays.
Open
Selecting the Open menu option displays a dialog box that allows you to open (under the Files of Type
drop-down option) Processed Spectra, Grams/32 SPC Files, or All Files. To open specific file types,
select File | Open from the menu, and then choose dark, sample dark, reference, sample, processed, or
experiment data files.
When you open a data file and the acquisition parameters of the file do not match the file currently open,
a warning box allows you to change the acquisition parameters, ignore the disparity between the
parameters, or cancel the opening of the data file.
Dark
A dark spectrum is a spectrum taken with the light path blocked.
Select File | Open | Dark to select and open one or more dark spectra.
Sample Dark
A sample dark spectrum is a spectrum taken in time normalized mode with the integration time set to that
of the sample spectrum.
Select File | Open | Sample Dark to select and open one or more sample dark spectra.
Reference
A reference spectrum is a spectrum taken with the light source on and a blank in the sampling region.
Select File | Open | Reference to select and open one or more reference spectra.
Sample
A sample spectrum is a spectrum taken while in scope mode with the sample in the sampling region.
Select File | Open | Sample to select and open one or more sample spectra.
