== Notes ==
* <span style="color: red; text-decoration: none; font-weight:bold; font-size: 14pt">DO NOT TURN OFF THE COMPUTER!</span>

* If the computer is turned off, the spectrum software will need to be run; do a 'BkGrd' (background scan) from the home screen. This needs to be done every time the computer is turned back on. This will initialize the instrument and put it into a ''ready'' state. The ''Ready'' green LED light should be on after the instrument has initialized.
* The [PCI] computer controller board doens't automatically put the instrument into ''ready'' mode. Apparently, the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industry_Standard_Architecture ISA] controller board does interact with the instrument to initialize it and put it into ''ready'' mode.  
* The instrument should be left on so the internal heater can keep the inside of the instrument dry. Internal moisture will degrade the salt based piece inside the instrument.
* Controller board information: 
** Perkin Elmer
** PCI Single T4 PCB
** ASSY NO L1360664
** ISS
** "53-10/08/04"

* The instruments controller board has an EPROM with configuration: [[file:FTIR-Spectrum2000_eprom_config_41618.zip | EPROM configuration file]]

==== Computer & Software ====
* Software requires license key which can be found on the back of the CD case or on the license certificate located in the CAL Manager file drawer.
* Software uses two directories found at the root of the drive: pel_apps & pel_data. Standard user will need write access to "pel_data".
* Software installation requires the 'mapping' or setting of the transputer I/O address; this is the PCI card. There's a help document on how to do this: [[File:Perkin_Elmer_Spectrum_Changing_the_Transputer_IO_Address.doc]]. An application will be required to set the memory address of the transputer: D:\IR Spectroscopy Tools\Set Transputer IO Address.exe
* Perkin Elmer Spectroscopy software version 5.3.1 will not work on Windows 7 --already tested, and also not supported. Also, the software will only work on Windows XP 32 bit edition.


===== Analysis Software =====
* Use [http://www.effemm2.de/spekwin/index_en.html SpecWin32] software to analyze spectrum files outside of the Lab. This software is installed in the [http://www.evergreen.edu/scicomp/cal/hours-and-location.html CAL]
