.
To run the test
1. Verify that the wavelengths and tolerances are set correctly.
2. Press
Start Test
.
The results indicate pass or fail for each wavelength.
If the test fails, follow these guidelines:
• Repeat the test twice to verify that the test is failing consistently.
• Make sure the target and tolerance values you entered for the calibrated wavelength are
the same as the values on the calibration certificate for the standard.
Wavelength Repeatability (UV-Vis only)
This test measures the ability of the spectrophotometer to return to an identical wavelength in
a repeatable manner. The test uses the internal xenon lamp.
A xenon lamp has a strong, fundamental line 529 nm. This line is an essential property of
xenon and serves as a fundamental standard.
When running the internal standard test, remember that:
• The wavelength and tolerance values are preset and cannot be changed.
• The cell holder should be empty.
