SOP-5: Sample Positioning using the Motorized XYZ
Stage
You can use Monitor to help position your sample for optimum spectral collection efficiency.
Sample positioning and alignment in Monitor mode allows you to position and focus on a
specific area and to collect spectral data from that location. It can also be used to enhance
the signal-to-noise ratio of spectral data. The data displayed on screen during monitoring
cannot be saved. To save data you must collect spectra (SOP-4).
NOTE: To see the Live display, the
Show live display
option must be selected on the Setup
Instrument Data Collection tab.
1.
