Calibrate the Laser Frequency
Calibrate your laser frequency if a qualification workflow, such as the Nicolet FTIR - Factory Qualification workflow, indicates a failing test. When a test fails, first align the spectrometer, then calibrate the laser frequency and run the test again. If the test still fails, contact your local technical support representative for help.
