5.7 FlowVPX Detector Validation Adapter (DVA)

The FlowVPX Detector Validation Adapter (DVA) enables raw transmission readings to the Detector, as well as CPV validation with

NIST traceable filters and cuvette adapters.

5.7.1 Transmission Tool

The Transmission Tool snaps directly onto the Detector Validation Adapter to couple either the Delivery Fiber or the Beams source

directly to the Detector.
