the source in place. (Do not overtighten the screws.)
6. Turn on your instrument and start OMNIC software.
If you have installed a different type of source than you were previously using, choose
Experiment Setup
in the Collect menu, and then click the
Bench
tab in the Experiment
Setup box. Configure the Bench tab for the new source. (See OMNIC Help Topics
(available from the Help menu in OMNIC software) for more information.)
Use the
Advanced Diagnostics
command in the Collect menu to verify that the new
source is working properly. (If it does not work properly, contact us for assistance.)
7. Make sure the system has been on for at least 15 minutes (one hour for best results), and
then align the instrument.
Installing Sidewall Adapters

accessories. To install sidewall adapters, press the adapter ring toward the sidewall to compress
the purge gasket, and then slide the adapter down into the clips on the side of the sample
compartment.
Note
To remove a sidewall adapter, press the adapter ring toward the sidewall to compress
the purge gasket and then slide the adapter up out of the clips on the side of the sample
compartment.
