intense. Shorten the sampling time, and make adjustment, so that appropriate data is obtained.
Display a quantity of light graph, and operate the quantity of light monitoring button to view
the data from the spectrometer.
 “Measure background”
When measuring a sample (object under measurement), the background and reference must
have priorly been measured, so that measured results can be calculated. Before measuring a
sample, measure the background.
 “Measure reference”
When measuring a sample (object under measurement), the background and reference must
have priorly been measured, so that measured results can be calculated. Before measuring a
sample, measure the reference.
