Other diagnostic tests and settings
The Other diagnostic tests and settings screen provides three additional
diagnostic functions:
• Generate test peaks – Generates test peaks to calibrate a chart recorder
or data system.
• Manually override the optical filter – Selects a filter different from the
one used in the detector’s normal operating mode.
• PMT Sensitivity – Reduces PMT sensitivity by a factor of 10 or 100 to
avoid saturation with highly fluorescent samples and mobile phases.
Press DIAG, and then press 8 Other diagnostics. You can generate test peaks
(see page 5-17) or override the optical filter (see page 5-18).
