Samples Tab for Fixed
Change Fixed workbook settings as desired before making sample measurements. All Fixed
measurements are saved in a workbook that includes the data acquisition settings.
Instrument Tab for Fixed
Resets the parameters on all the tabs to their default values. For Quant and Rate,
also steps through each tab in sequence.
Makes the parameters on all the tabs available, closes the current workbook, and
creates a new workbook.

To set data acquisition parameters for a Fixed workbook,
click Settings to access:
Click Settings in Fixed to display the Instrument tab in
the right pane.
Feature Description
Data mode Y-axis format for acquired data.
Integration time How long the system acquires and averages data at each measured
wavelength. Increasing the integration time improves the
signal-to-noise ratio.
Bandwidth A larger spectral bandwidth increases the amount of energy that
passes through the sample. Increasing the bandwidth can improve
the signal-to-noise ratio; however, a larger spectral bandwidth
decreases the ability to resolve closely spaced spectral features.
