Lynx Energy Calibration Setup Steps
These steps assume the Lynx is already set up, including your detector and sample.
Gather Data from your Acquisition
1.)
Ensure the HVPS for your detector has been activated, e.g., in the On state
(review this HVPS setting on page 92). Be certain that the Gain Attenuator
is set to the Off position (discussed in Step 3, below; review this Gain
setting on page 87 of this manual). Verify the settings for your Detector's
preamp type.
2.)
Start your collection. Press the Start button in the Acquire area of the
Spectrum tab to begin the acquisition.
If Start is pressed, and Clear is then pressed, the acquisition will simply
'restart'. If Stop is pressed, the acquisition will stop collecting.
