Notes


  • DO NOT TURN OFF THE COMPUTER!
  • DO NOT TURN OFF THE INSTRUMENT!
  • 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 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.
  • The instruments controller board has an EPROM with configuration: File:FTIR-Spectrum2000 eprom config 41618.zip

Computer & Software

  • Need to get software license key. Software requires license key.
  • Software uses two directories found at the root of the drive: pel_apps & pel_data.
  • Software installation requires the 'mapping' or setting of the transputer I/O address. There's a help document at the root of the drive that explains how to do this.
  • The PC is a candidate to be upgraded, along with upgrading OS to Windows XP; it's likely that the software will not work on Windows 7, but worth testing in vm environment as a quick-and-dirty test. The OS needs to be 32 bit version.
  • The CD drive motor is broken.
  • Will not boot from USB.
