Abstract
A device may determine a calibration value for a spectrometer using light from a first light source; deactivate the first light source after determining the calibration value; perform measurement with regard to a sample based on the calibration value, wherein the measurement of the sample is performed using light from a second light source; determine that the calibration value is to be updated; and update the calibration value using the light from the first light source.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- an external light source;
- and
- a spectrometer comprising a spectrometer light source,
- wherein the spectrometer is configured to:
- determine that a baseline calibration value is to be updated,
- deactivate the external light source based on determining that the baseline calibration value is to be updated;
- and
- update the baseline calibration value based on reflected light that originates from the spectrometer light source.
A method, comprising:
- determining that a baseline calibration value is to be updated,
- deactivating an external light source based on determining that the baseline calibration value is to be updated;
- and
- updating the baseline calibration value based on reflected light that originates from a spectrometer light source.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing one or more instructions, the one or more instructions comprising:
- one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a spectrometer, cause the one or more processors to:
- determine that a baseline calibration value is to be updated,
- deactivate an external light source based on determining that the baseline calibration value is to be updated;
- and
- update a baseline calibration value based on reflected light that originates from a spectrometer light source.
