Wavelength Calibration
XL spectrometers natively collect data in “pixel space.” To plot your data against a calibrated x
-axis in
wavelengths (nm), you’ll need to load an external configuration file providing the (pixel, wavelength)
mappings. Each XL spectrometer ships with a factory-calibrated configuration file for Andor Solis,
though you can easily generate your own using emission or Raman sources.
From the Calibrate menu, select “Manual Calibration”.
