Calibrate the Laser Frequency
Calibrate your laser frequency if the Nicolet Summit OA - PV Test workflow indicates a failing test.
When a test fails, first align the spectrometer, then calibrate the laser frequency and run the test
again. If the test still fails, contact your local technical support representative for help.
