Using the RSA-G2
All of your RSA-G2 experiments will have the following general outline. In some cases, not all of these
steps are performed. The majority of these steps are performed using the TRIOS Instrument Control Soft -
ware. The instructions needed to perform these actions can be found in TRIOS online help; therefore, they
will not all be covered in detail here.
• Calibrating the instrument.
• Selecting and preparing the sample.
• Selecting and installing the appropriate geometry for the desired test and sample.
• Creating or choosing the test procedure and entering sample and instrument information through the
TRIOS Instrument Control Software.
• Loading the prepared sample.
• Starting the experiment.
• Displaying and analyzing results.
To obtain accurate results, follow all instructions carefully. For detailed information, refer to the online
help through the TRIOS software.
