1.    FUNCTIONS AND SCREEN COMPOSITION   
 
1.1  Functions  
 
In this program, the following measurement modes are available:   
• Wavelength scan  
• Time scan  
• Photometry  
• 3-D scan  
•  3-D time scan 
 
Wavelength Scan 
 
(1)  Photometric value data can be printed at the specified wavelength intervals or at up to 12 
specified wavelengths.   
 
(2)  The function keys provide functions unique to the wavelength scan mode.   
Measurement:  [F4],  Stop:  [F6]  
 
(3)  Wavelength scan measurement can be repeated max. 99 times.    And, a repetition period is 
settable.  
 
Time Scan 
 
(1)  Kinetics, or rate calculation will be performed.   
 
(2)  Photometric value data can be printed at the specified time intervals or at up to 12 specified 
time points. 
 
Photometry 
 
(1)  Quantification method is selectable among specified wavelength, peak area, peak height, peak 
ratio and derivative methods.     
Up to 20 standards can be measured.    A calibration curve is prepared by drawing polygonal 
lines through each point of standard concentrations or a regression calibration curve is prepared 
by least squares.    It is also possible to measure up to 20 standards and prepare a calibration 
curve based on an average value of standard concentrations.     
 
(2)  A calibration curve can be redrawn by re-measuring a specific standard.    In a calibration curve 
graph on the screen window, a value at each point can be read out using the cursor.   
 
(3)  A calibration curve can be printed.   
A calibration curve can be drawn by inputting its factor value.   
  
						

							1.1  Functions 
1 - 2 
(4)  Measurement data and a calibration curve are displayed on the same screen window.    It is 
therefore possible to carry out measurement while observing the calibration curve.   
 
(5)  According to the coefficient of determination calculated automatically, judgment can be made on 
a degree of matching between standard values and a calibration curve.     
Two/three-wavelength calculation is permitted in preparation of a calibration curve.   
 
(6)  Statistical calculation is possible.   
Mean value of measured data and standard deviation (SD) can be calculated.   
 
(7)  Upper/lower limit judgment will be performed.   
 
(8)  Spectrum display under photometry   
In the data measured by a quatification method; peak height, peak area, peak ratio or derivative, 
a spectrum due to wavelength scan is displayable.   
 
3-D Scan 
 
(1)  Spectral calculation can be performed using the measured data.   
 
(2)  A peak table can be displayed.   
 
(3)  A bird’s-eye view/synchronous spectrum can be displayed and printed.   
 
(4)  Printing conditions are selectable.   
In use of the DDE function, the wavelength interval and start/end wavelengths of data list can 
be selected.   
 
3-D Time Scan 
 
(1)  A peak table can be displayed. 
 
(2)  A bird’s eye view/contour lines can be displayed and printed. 
 
(3)  Printing conditions are selectable.

Secondary Processing of Data 
 
Measured data can be saved, and a variety of processings can be carried out on the saved data.   
 
(1)  Automatic reading of data (spectrum tracing)   
By placing the cursor on the currently displayed spectral graph, a photometric value at the 
cursor position can be read out.   
 
(2) Peak detection  
Peaks and valleys of the currently displayed spectrum are detected automatically.   
 
(3)  Change of scale   
A measured spectrum can be enlarged or reduced by changing the ordinate and abscissa 
scales.  
 
(4) Smoothing  
A measured spectrum can be smoothed for elimination of noise components.   
 
(5) Derivative  
Spectral derivative is obtainable.    It is permitted to specify an order of derivative, that of 
smoothing and a count value of data.   
 
(6) Spectrum calculation  
Fundamental arithmetic operations can be made between spectra or a spectrum can be 
multiplied with a factor.   
 
(7) Area  
The area value of the specified peak will be calculated.     
The average area value is also calculable among peaks.   
 
(8) File conversion  
Measurement data can be converted into an ASCII text file (*.txt) or JCAMP-DX file (*.dx).    It is 
also possible to save a spectrum and calibration curve graph in a Windows meta file (*.wmf).     
 
(9)  Display/print font setting   
The font, style and size of characters to be displayed and printed can be changed as desired.   
 
(10) Data acquisition  
Photometric value data on the data processing window and monitor window can be acquired.   
Acquisition is allowed within 100 data.     
 
(11)  Printing items collectively specifiable   
Printing items on overlaid spectra can be specified collectively.   
  
						

							1.1  Functions 
1 - 4 
(12)  Specification of printing items   
Items in a peak table can be selected and printed.   
 
(13)  Portrait or Landscape printing settable   
Printing can be made Portrait or Landscape.     
 
(14)  Collective spectrum printing   
Printing can be carried out just by specifying a file.   
 
(15)  Selection of spectrum to be displayed   
The spectrum to be displayed for overlaying is selectable.   
 
(16)  Automatic saving mode ON/OFF settable   
ON/OFF can be set in the sample name/comment input window.     
Automatic saving is effective in all the modes that use a sample table.   
 
(17)  Data in each mode can be transferred to Microsoft® Excel.   
(This is valid when Microsoft® Excel 2003 has been installed in PC.)   
 
(18)  After copying spectral data into commercial software such as Microsoft® Word, its scale, line 
type, color, etc. are changeable on the software.   
 
(19)  The report generator (separately available, P/N 250-0455) can be used.
