2.3  Defining Your Samples  
 
When “Use sample table” is not selected in Analysis Method, a sample 
must be defined in the following procedure before measurement.   
 
(1) Click the 
  button.    The window in Fig. 2-10 will appear.

(2)  Make entries for Sample name and Comment.   
Maximum number of enterable characters (half-size)   
 
Sample name :  40 characters   
Comment : 255 characters  
 
For automatic saving, put a check mark in the “Auto File” box to 
specify a file name.    First click the Select button, and then 
specify a saving location and enter a file name.

When you put a check mark at the head of “Auto JCAMP-DX file,” 
“Auto Text file” and “Auto Meta file” after turning on “Auto File,” 
wavelength scan data can be saved automatically in the following 
file formats as soon as this data is automatically saved.   
•  JCAMP-DX file (*.dx)   
•  ASCII text file (*.txt)   
•  Graph meta file (*.wmf)   
The data will be saved in the file name entered for “File name.”   
 
(3)  After completion of setting, click OK.  
 
 
When “Use sample table” is selected in Analysis Method, samples must 
be defined in the following procedure before measurement.   
Open the monitor window and click the 
 button.  
When the Sample Table window in Fig. 2-11 appears, enter the sample 
name and comment for each sample.   
 
1 For creating a sample table newly, make entry for Number of 
Samples and click the Update button.    For instance, if there are 
five samples, enter “5” for Number of Samples and click the 
Update button.

Next, you must enter a file name for automatic saving after 
measurement.  
When you click a File Name column, the […] button appears as 
shown in Fig. 2-13.    Click this button.    Upon opening of the 
window shown in Fig. 2-14, specify a saving location and enter a 
file name.

2.4  Prescan  
 
Select the Auto Pre-scan command from the Spectrophotometer menu 
or click the 
 (pre-scan) button.  
This function executes high-speed scan under the set measuring 
conditions, detects the peak wavelength and moves the system to that 
wavelength.    Also, the upper limit photometric value on the Y-axis scale 
is automatically set so that the peak-wavelength value becomes 
approximately 70% of that upper limit value.    In this case, the lower 
limit photometric value on the Y-axis scale is set at 0.   
Scan rages are as follows.   
 
Excitation spectra:   
Start wavelength on excitation side to (fixed wavelength on emission 
side - 20 nm) or (end wavelength on excitation side) whichever 
shorter  
 
Emission spectra:   
(Start wavelength on emission side) or (fixed wavelength on 
excitation side + 20 nm) whichever longer to end wavelength on 
emission side   
 
Synchronous spectra:   
Excitation wavelength; Start wavelength on excitation side to end 
wavelength on excitation side   
Emission wavelength;    Fixed wavelength on emission side to [fixed 
wavelength on emission side + (end wavelength on excitation side - 
start wavelength on excitation side)]   
However, when 900 nm is reached, scan is terminated.
