Prepare the Nicolet Summit X Spectrometer

To prepare the spectrometer

1. Set up and install the Nicolet Summit X spectrometer and its associated computer according to the provided instructions. Skip this step if you are using a Nicolet Summit X spectrometer that is already installed.
2. Remove any existing accessory from the spectrometer.

Grasp the front and back of the accessory and lift it straight up and off the spectrometer.

3. If the spectrometer is not powered on, turn it on by pressing the power button on the back panel.

If you powered on the spectrometer in step 3 above, wait 4 to 6 hours for the spectrometer to warm up before acquiring data with the Affirma Lubricant Analysis System.
