Using the RamanMicro 200 Series . 85
14. Select .
The Intensity Calibration dialog is displayed.
15. Ensure that you have followed the instructions on the dialog, and then click
Next
.
The instrument will now perform the intensity calibration routine. This will take some
time. When the calibration is complete, the result is displayed.
Any data acquired will now be intensity corrected.
In the unlikely event that the intensity calibration routine should fail, please ensure that
the NIST sample is correctly positioned, and that the laser key switch is set to on
(ARM).
16. Repeat steps 2–15 for each objective lens.
17. Remove the intensity correction standard and store safely.
Summary
•
The only calibration procedure that needs to be performed on a regular basis is the
wavelength calibration verification procedure.
•
The wavelength and laser frequency calibrations should only be performed if the
instrument fails the wavelength calibration verification procedure.
• We recommend that the intensity calibration is performed on a yearly basis, unless the
environment (temperature and/or humidity) changes significantly, or the instrument is
moved or repaired.
