Placing collected spectra
into new spectral windows
If you want collected spectra to be placed into a new spectral window
automatically after each data collection, turn on Collect To A New Window. The
new window will be given a default title.
If you turn this option off, you will be asked whether to place the collected
spectrum into a spectral window. See “Collecting a sample spectrum” and
“Collecting a background spectrum” in the “Collect” chapter for details.
Note
If this option is on, you will not be able to view information about data collection
problems at the end of the collection. ▲
Displaying prompts to
insert and remove the sample
Prompt To Insert Or Remove Sample lets you specify whether the software will
prompt you to install or remove your sample at the appropriate time during data
collection. The actual prompts that appear depend on the current setting of
Background Handling in the Experiment Setup dialog box.
For example, if you are collecting a background spectrum before every sample
spectrum and Prompt To Insert Or Remove Sample has been turned on, you will
be prompted to prepare the system for background collection at the start of data
collection. If you are collecting a background after every sample, you will be
prompted to install your sample at the start of data collection. The same prompt
will appear if you have set the software to collect a background after a specified
time or if you are using a stored background. See “Background Handling” in the
“Collect” chapter for more information on background handling.
If you don’t want to be prompted, turn off Prompt To Insert Or Remove Sample.
In this case, make sure the system is ready for background collection (if you are
collecting a background first) or the sample is installed (if you are using any of the
other Background Handling settings) before choosing Collect Sample from the
Collect menu. See “Collecting a sample spectrum” in the “Collect” chapter for
complete information on collecting sample spectra.
