Wavelength and absorbance tests are performed with the provided calibrated filters.

Thickness test is performed with the provided thickness blocks.

These tests are scheduled according to the Quality Assurance Manual of the user company.

"When main menu is displayed and "Instrument Check" selected, choose "Wavelength check" on the screen to have access to this sheet.

• Complete the heading (Mode and operator). The serial number of the spectrometer is automatically completed with the informations saved in the registration routine.
  Tolerance value can be modified (as written on the screen) by a click on the relevant case and button.
  
• Type TAB key to progress in the sheet.
  
  Make sure for this test that the 8 cell sample holder is installed in the spectrometer. If not, install it.
  
  When the heading is complete, the software checks the communication between the PC and the spectrometer.
  
• Insert the filter F1 in the third cell (as written on the screen) and type TAB key
  The measurement starts and the absorbances are displayed on the screen. At the end of the measurement, the wavelength where absorbance is maximum is displayed in the corresponding cell. Conclusion is automatically completed (OK or not OK).
  
• The test for the second wavelength start automatically and the conclusion is automatically completed.

At the end of the check, enter the quality assurance manager name and save the data.
