Scope of this Manual
This manual contains the information needed to install, calibrate,

covered in Chapter 8 of this manual.
The UV6000LP is designed to be operated from a PC running either

Operation chapter. Refer to the ChromQuest Software User’s Guide
or the Atlas SpectraSYSTEM Control manual for software operating
procedures.
