Using the RamanFlex 400 . 81 

SOP-9: Wavelength Calibration of the RamanFlex 400 

Wavelength calibration should only be performed if the instrument has failed a wavelength 

calibration verification. 

1.

 

Ensure the RamanFlex 400 is switched on.  
If not follow SOP-1. 

2.

 

Attach the external neon calibration accessory (L1320220) to the rear panel. 
Push the large connector into the socket labeled CALIBRATION, and carefully connect 

the small cable to the COL coupler below the LED FIBER 1 connector. 

NOTE: As wavelength calibration is not required on a regular basis, the external neon 

calibration accessory is not included in the basic RamanFlex 400 package. The 

external neon calibration accessory can be purchased separately. 

 

NOTE: If you have a fiber optic probe connected to the instrument, ensure that it is covered. 

3.

 

Select Validate

 

and then Instrument from the Instrument menu in Spectrum.  

The Validation / Calibration dialog is displayed. 

 

4.

 

Select the Calibration tab. 

5.

 

Select Wavelength (X-axis), and then click OK. 
The instrument will now perform the wavelength calibration routine. This will take some 

time.  

After completing the wavelength calibration routine, a report is generated on-screen which 

describes the result of the wavelength calibration. 

The instrument is now wavelength calibrated.
