4.2.2 Confirmation of Bandwidth
1. Select Wavelength Scan from the Main Menu and then press ENTER.
2. Set the operating conditions as shown below:
Data Mode E(R)
Start WL (nm) 660
Stop WL (nm) 650
Scan Speed (nm/min) 100
UP Scale 100
LO Scale 0
Lamp Change WL (nm) 340.0
WI Lamp ON
D2 Lamp ON
Response Fast
3. Verify that the Sample and Reference cuvette holders are empty. Then
press 0 to display the measurement screen.
4. Press START to acquire a spectrum.
5. Select “Print” to record the spectrum on a graphic plotter, and then check
the bandwidth as shown below:
a. Measure the peak width in nm at half-height.
b. If this value is 1.5nm
±0.3nm, then the bandwidth is normal.
