These checks examine the quality of collected background spectra. If you want
any of the background checks to be performed, first turn on Background Checks
and then turn on the checks you want performed. (Use Spectral Quality Checks
must be on for these items to be available.) Set the sensitivity for each selected
check that requires it by using the Sensitivity scroll bar. A higher sensitivity value
makes it more likely that a problem will be detected.
Note
If you are using a Smart Accessory experiment to collect data with a Smart
Accessory, you can use Display Spectral Quality Reference in the Collect menu to
display the background spectrum used to check collected backgrounds. To assign
a new spectrum for this purpose, use Set New Spectral Quality Reference in the
Collect menu. See “Displaying the spectral quality reference spectrum” and
“Assigning a new spectral quality reference spectrum” for details. ▲
The interferogram checks appear when you select the Interferogram (or All) option.
These checks examine the quality of collected interferograms. If you want any of
the interferogram checks to be performed, first turn on Interferogram Checks and
then turn on the checks you want performed. (Use Spectral Quality Checks must
be on for these items to be available.)
To display a category of checks or all the checks on the Quality tab, select the
appropriate option to the right of Select View.
If you want any of the spectral quality checks to be performed when you collect
spectra using the current experiment, turn on Use Spectral Quality Checks near the
top of the dialog box. This makes the various checks available for you to select. If
you don’t want any checks to be performed, turn off the check box.
When OMNIC performs a check and detects a problem, the Collect Status indicator
is displayed in yellow or red. Click the indicator (or click the View Collect Status
button at the end of data collection) to see a summary of data collection problems
encountered during collection and other information about the collection. See
“Viewing information about data collection problems” for more information.
