Spectrometer Autocalibration
The MB3000 series spectrometer is designed to automatically perform an
autocalibration every 2 weeks. The autocalibration will start between two
measurements but never during a measurement. When the autocalibration is started,
the MB3000 spectrometer will be inoperative for about 2 minutes. The Status LED
will flash. When autocalibration has finished, the spectrometer resumes operation.
MB3000 Series Spectrometers Calibration
A spectral calibration must be performed in these conditions:
•
After installation, once the temperature of the spectrometer has stabilized i.e.
when the spectrometer has been under power for four hours.
•
Anytime the spectrometer is powered ON after being powered OFF for more
than one hour.
To perform spectral calibration, follow this procedure:
STEP 9
Set the ON/OFF power switch of the spectrometer power supply to OFF.
STEP 10
Wait 30 seconds.
STEP 11
Set the ON/OFF power switch of the spectrometer power supply to ON.
After step 3, the spectrometer automatically performs the calibration which lasts
approximately three minutes.
Spectrometer is inoperative during autocalibration.
Spectrometer must be under power for at least 4 hours before performing spectral
calibration.
During calibration, spectrometer does not acquire any data.
When the calibration is completed, the spectrometer resumes operation.
