5.4.2 - Accumulate
Accumulate mode allows you to add together in computer memory the data from a number of scans to create
an ‘Accumulated Scan’ e.g.:
You can select the following parameters in the Setup Acquisition dialog box:
• Exposure Time
• No. of Accumulations: i.e. the number of scans you want to add together
• Accumulated Cycle Time: i.e. the period in seconds between each scan. This parameter is only
available if you have selected Internal triggering (please refer to Triggering Modes later in this
section.)
NOTE: This mode is used to improve the Signal to Noise ratio.
