Wavelength Accuracy - Standard
This test measures the absorbance of a wavelength accuracy standard and compares the
location of the peaks with precisely known values at up to five wavelengths. By default,
wavelength accuracy tests are performed in absorbance mode; however, this test may also be
performed in %T mode. Typical wavelengths and tolerances are included in the firmware, but
these values can be changed to match the calibration certificate included with your standards.
When running the Wavelength Accuracy test, remember:
• You need Wavelength Accuracy standards designed to measure the wavelength accuracy at
the specified wavelengths.
• Use an empty cell holder as the blank.
• Measure the standards in the order they are listed on the test screen.
• You can measure the wavelength standard at only five wavelengths.
