Perform a background measurement
The system requires a background spectrum for making measurements with the Affirma The Flow-Through Transmission Lubricant Analysis System. The background should be updated after 2 hours of continuous use.
To perform a background measurement
- Remove the flow-through cell from the spectrometer sample compartment. (You can leave the baseplate and sample holder installed.)
- In OMNIC Paradigm software Operator mode, select the FTRN Setup category and then select the Background FTRN workflow.
- Follow the instructions in the workflow to complete the background measurement.
When the background measurement is completed, follow the instructions in the next section to run the calibration check.
