Initial performance test
1 Turn on the spectrometer system and ignite plasma.
2 Go to “Status” page and ensure the poly boost purge and snout/cone purge are enabled.
3 Allow 20 minutes warm up time, if the argon purges were not turned on.
If the instrument purge has been left off for any length of time and the chiller was left on its
highly likely condensation as formed on the Camera window. Run the Camera Test on the
“Tests Page” to ensure the Camera is clear of contamination.
4 Allow 5 minutes warm up time if the purges were on.
5 Aspirate the multi-element test solution.
6 Go to the Calibration tab in Instrument and perform a Dark Current Scan. Click the Dark
Current Scan button.
7 The message “Dark Current Measurement “completed” is displayed on completion. The
results are stored under:
C:\ProgramData\Agilent\ICPExpert\Log\Instrumentserialnumber\
Darkcurrentlogger.txt
8 View this file and ensure that the values within the file are as expected.
9 Perform a wavelength calibration. Click the Calibrate button with the multi-element test
solution aspirating. The message “Wavelength Calibration” results will display with a tick or
cross depending on result.
The results will be automatically stored in a file named “Calibrationdetaillog.txt” located in: C:\
ProgramData\Agilent\ICPExpert\Log\Instrumentserialnumber\
Calibrationdetaillog.txt
10 View this file and ensure that the values within the file are as expected.
11 Click on the “Tests” tab in the “Instrument” window.
12 Aspirate the multi-element test solution and click on “Run tests”.
13 Print-out the results.
14 The SBR intensities will bench mark the light throughput before and after the replacement of
the pre-optics window. Save the print-out for future use.
