Parameters and graphics are printed automatically if Auto Print is selected (see User).
Pressing
from within a mode set up page will print the parameters for that mode,
whereas pressing
after experimental results are displayed will print both
parameters and graphics.
Download to Spreadsheet
Results can be downloaded directly to Excel when the PC has the Spreadsheet
Interface Software installed (80-2110-73) and the two are linked with the serial cable
(80-2105-97); detailed instructions are supplied with the software. Thus absorbance /
wavelength data comprising a scan, for example, can be picked up as columns of
numbers and converted to a more conventional graph using the spreadsheet; results
can then be formatted or manipulated as appropriate prior to inclusion in reports or
archiving / saving to hard disk.
Results from all modes of use on the instrument can be output in this way. Output is
automatic when
key is pressed.

visible only
Visible region only is calibrated; check lamps and replace
if necessary
Calibration status:
UV only
UV region only is calibrated; check lamps and replace if
necessary
Failed to align
visible lamp
Detector did not see enough energy during calibration;
replace visible lamp
Abs Non-Linear
Instrument cold, dirty filters or misalignment of filter
quadrant. Recalibrate later on. Contact local service
engineer.
Too much light
Close lid properly and ensure baseplate plug is in place
