NOTE: If no minimum or maximum signal intensity
criteria is specified, the laser is not adjusted. The
mid-range laser setting specified in the Automatic
Control dialog box is used.
• Within range—The system saves the data file if
Signal-to-Noise is not enabled, or continues with
step 2 if Signal-to-Noise is enabled.
2. If Signal-to-Noise is enabled in the Spectrum Acceptance
Criteria dialog box, the system evaluates the
signal-to-noise ratio for each spectrum.
If the signal-to-noise ratio is:
• Equal to or greater than the ratio set in the
Spectrum Acceptance Criteria dialog box—The
system checks resolution as described in step 3, if
it is enabled. If resolution is not enabled, the
system saves the data file.
• Less than the ratio set in the Spectrum
Acceptance Criteria dialog box—The system
increases the laser setting one laser step as
specified in instrument settings, and acquires a
new spectrum.
3. If Resolution is enabled in the Spectrum Acceptance
Criteria dialog box, the system evaluates the resolution for
each spectrum.
If the resolution is:
• Equal to or greater than the resolution set in
the Spectrum Acceptance Criteria dialog box—
The system saves the data file.
• Less than the resolution set in the Spectrum
Acceptance Criteria dialog box—The system
acquires a new spectrum.
