Interface
Agilent 55B AA Spectrometer User’s Guide 63
Text style
Enables LIMS or printer output - default is none. All output requires the ‘Baud rate’
to be set correctly. ‘LIMS’ output has comma-delimited fields. ‘Printer’ output has
space-delimited fields.
See Print the results - Page 89 for details on output options.
Baud rate
Specify the baud rate to be used for the serial port. Default is 9600.
Lines per page
Used when ‘Printer’ is selected as the text style- default is 66 lines per page.
Each page has a header. Form feeds are used to separate pages.
Language
Select the language of the interface - default is English. Refer to ‘Select the
language of the interface’ - Page 69 for instructions on how to change the
language of the interface.
Optimization page
The Optimization page is used to set up:
the hollow cathode lamps
the D
2
lamp, and
the signal.
In Absorbance mode there are up to three options present on the page:
HC lamp (default position 1)
D
2
lamp and
Signal.
In Emission mode, only ‘Signal’ is available, because during emission optimization,
the system uses the highest standard sample to carry out the wavelength peaking
procedure (i.e., no lamps are used).
The signal bar at the top of the page facilitates optimization of the lamps, burner
position, and impact bead position to obtain the strongest signal.
Refer to ‘Optimization’ on page 74 for instructions on fine tuning the system.
