TSP UV3000 Detector

Commands and Tips for Thermo Scientific Devices
Finnigan/TSP UV3000 Detector

The following commands and properties are available (please note that the display Filter level determines which commands and properties are displayed):

Property	Min	Max	Default	Description
AcquisitionMode	Single Wavelength	Multi Wavelength	N/A	Changes the data acquisition mode.
Connected	Discon- nected	Connected	N/A	Indicates whether the detector is connected.
UV_Lamp	Off	On	N/A	Turns the deuterium lamp on or off (l = 190 - 365 nm)
UV_Lamp_ Intensity	Intensity_ low	Intensity_ OK	N/A	Indicates whether the deuterium lamp intensity is too low or OK (read-only)
Visible_Lamp	Off	On	N/A	Turns the tungsten lamp on or off (l = 366 - 800 nm)
Visible_Lamp_ Intensity	Intensity_ low	Intensity_ OK	N/A	Indicates whether the tungsten lamp intensity is too low or OK (read-only)

Channel-specific Commands and Properties

Property	Min	Max	Default	Description
Response	0.0	9.9	1.0	Time constant. Indicates the time needed by the detector to reach 63% of the full-scale deflection.
Wavelength	190 nm	800 nm	254 nm	Wavelength at which the detector measures the signal.

All other channel properties and commands correspond to the standard detector commands (refer to Practical Tips for Device Control Detector Commands).

Notes:

The Range property provided by the TSP UV3000 (analog data acquisition) driver is not required for digital data acquisition; thus, it is not available with the TSP UV3000 (digital data acquisition) driver.

Due to extensive communication during the Connect procedure, it may take up to 1 min until the instrument is finally connected. The corresponding message is logged in the Audit Trail.

Tip:

The device driver does not support the Scan mode of the detector. Therefore, it is not possible to acquire single spectra.
