Steps:
1. Set suitable integration time (generally thousands of milliseconds). Adjust it until the highest
peak is around 50000 counts.
2. Take dark scan, and then take additional scan of the sample. Be sure spectrum type is set to
“Dark Subtracted” if dark scan is applied.
3. Save data as .txt or .spc (as preferred).
Warning:
Be sure to wear laser goggles at all times and avoid looking into laser beam.
Turn off fluorescent lamp or any ambient light which would bring noise signals into spectrum.
Lower the laser power if sample is dark or thermo-unstable such as plastics and explosives.
