Preparing the measurement
Follow this procedure:
1. Insert the Spectralon insert (13 in Fig. 20-7) in aperture (14 in Fig. 20-7). A
locating pin ensures correct position of the insert. Shift retaining clip (15 in
Fig. 20-7) on spring holder (16 in Fig. 20-7) until the Spectralon insert is
reliably pressed against the aperture. Take care to keep the insert clean as
it serves as reference. However, you may also use a reference of your
choice.

3. Put the control unit and the sphere body into the sample compartment of
the SPECORD S 600 according to the above instructions. Make sure that
the sphere body is moved fully right up to the stop.
