PerkinElmer RamanMicro 200 Series, Getting Started Manual

Page: 75 / 98

Using the RamanMicro 200 Series . 75
Spectra are always background corrected. If there is not a valid background in memory, a
background will be acquired at this point. You will see a progress bar for the background
collection on the Live tab. You can enter the number of backgrounds on the Setup
Instrument Data Collection. When the collection of backgrounds is complete, the software
will automatically begin collecting spectra. The upper progress bar shows the progress of the
current scan (
%
), while the lower progress bar shows the overall progress of the
measurement (for example,
1 of 2
scans) if, for example, you have set up Repeat collections.
If you exit Spectrum software the instrument settings will be remembered when you restart
Spectrum, providing that they have been used to collect data. If you want to return to the
default instrument settings, click
Restore Defaults
on the Setup Instrument Basic tab. If you
wish these parameters to be stored as a new set of instrument settings, select Load and
Save on the Setup Instrument Basic tab.
NOTE: If you have a motorized stage, for information on how use the Setup Microscope XYZ
Stage tab to set up Markers, Cell Markers, Maps and Line Scans, and to collect a
Visible Image Survey, refer to the Spectrum on-screen help.
NOTE: If you are using a multi-well plate on the motorized stage on the microscope, then
you must insert the multi-well plate holder (L1321675) onto the stage before adding
the plate.
