6.3.4 Power Spectrum Becomes too Small, or Fluctuates.
Phenomena
1. Power spectrum becomes smaller than ones when IRAffinity-1 was installed.
2. Power spectrum becomes small in short term (a day to a week). Power spectrum fluctuates.
Reason
1. Deterioration because of long term use
2. Trouble with the power board
3. Trouble with the detector
Solution
1. Deterioration because of long term use
• Execute the [Measurement]-[Auto Adjust].
• When power spectrum does not fluctuate in short term, execute a Japanese or European

When power spectrum fluctuates in short term, check following items.
2. Trouble with the power board
• The power board might be inoperative. Please contact your SHIMADZU representative.
3. Trouble with the detector
• The detector might be inoperative. Please contact your SHIMADZU representative.
