The collima
tor determines the size of the spot on the sample to be tested.
 For m
ost applications, 
8mm spot
 size is best. The 3mm spot size collimator reduces the focal point size and, therefore, 
the analyzed area. For safety reasons, a collimator must be installed at all times. 
The size is
 
disp
layed in the status bar and recorded in the data file.
 
The instru
ment is prevented from entering the armed state and will not 
produc
e X-rays.
