Fiber Optic Probe SOPs

NOTE: The SOPs included on the following pages are only appropriate for a standard fiber

optic probe. For details of how to acquire data using a triggered fiber optic probe, see

the

Raman Triggered Fiber Optic Probe

leaflet (L1321940).

SOP-6: Selecting the Fiber Optic Probe

Ensure the RamanStation 400F is switched on and the fiber optic probe connected to

the instrument.
If not, follow SOP-1.

Select

Raman Instrument

from the Setup menu in Spectrum.

The Setup Instrument tabs are displayed in the Dialog pane.

Select the Setup Instrument Basic tab.

Select the Fiber Optic Probe you want to use from the Accessory drop-down list.
The following warning message is displayed.

Ensure that laser safety precautions are being observed, and then click Continue.
If you have any doubts about the required safety precautions click Cancel.

Laser light will be emitted from the probe during data collection and when the software is in

Monitor or Preview modes. When the laser is on and the shutter is open the Laser Status on

the Measurement bar will be updated to Class 3B,

. The probe can now be positioned

so as to achieve the best spectrum. See SOP-7.
