The Survey Scan program allows you to scan a
wavelength range. When you use the Survey Scan
program, you can perform these tasks:
• Recall a test OR set up your test parameters
• Run the Cell Correction program
• Collect a baseline scan
• Scan an unknown
• View scan data
• Change the scale of the data plot
• Determine 3-point net measurements
• Calculate the area under a curve
• Label peaks and valleys
Note: The Survey Scan/Scanning program allows
you to measure only one unknown at a
time. Auto 6, Auto 3 and Manual 6 are not
available for scanned measurements.
Note: If you want to set a baseline expiration
time, press UTILITIES, then use the arrow
