3. Tighten the setscrew on the SMA connector of the HL-2000-CAL with an Allen wrench. Connect
the other end of the fiber into the SMA connector of the spectrometer.
4. Plug the switching AC adapter into the back of the HL-2000-CAL. The adapter stabilizes power
coming into the lamp to ensure constant spectral intensity.
5. Plug one end of the power cord into the AC adapter and the other end into a standard outlet.
6. Turn the lamp on. Allow the lamp to warm up for at least 15 minutes before using it.
7. Insert the calibration disk that came with your lamp into your computer. This disk contains two
ASCII files with the same information as the Lamp Calibration Reports that came with your HL-
2000-CAL. One file has the calibration numbers for calibrating the spectral response of your
system with the lamp and a bare fiber; its name contains the lamp's serial number, followed by
FIB.LMP. The second file has the calibration numbers when calibrating the spectral response of
your system with the lamp and a CC-3 cosine-corrector and fiber; its name contains the lamp's
serial number, followed by CC.LMP. Copy these files into the desired directory on your
computer.
8. Start SpectraSuite software in Scope mode. See your SpectraSuite manual for instructions on
calibrating a spectrometer with the HL-2000-CAL.
