Software Manual [patched]: Omnic 9

FT-IR spectroscopy relies on a ratioed measurement. You must collect a background spectrum of the ambient air or the bare accessory surface to eliminate atmospheric interference ( CO2cap C cap O sub 2 and water vapor).

Adjusts the intensity of the spectrum, which is essential before spectral subtraction or quantitative analysis. 5. Spectral Analysis and Interpretation (Analyze Menu)

At its heart, OMNIC 9 controls your FTIR spectrometer, acquiring high-quality interferograms that are Fourier-transformed into spectra. The software supports a wide variety of measurement modes, including ATR (Attenuated Total Reflectance), transmission, and reflectance configurations, adapting to diverse sample types.

A high-utility tool for quality control. It compares a sample spectrum against a known product standard and gives a pass/fail verification based on strict correlation parameters. 5. Troubleshooting and Maintenance

A major milestone for the OMNIC series, version 9.0 was the first release to support the advanced iS50 Spectrometer. Subsequent updates, such as 9.1, expanded compatibility to include the iS50 Raman module, GC interface, and Continuum microscope, while later versions continued to add support for new instrument types including the Nicolet 380, iS5, iS10, iN10, and 6700/8700 instruments.

Located beneath the spectral window, this area displays match percentages, integration values, and quantitative data. Customizing the Workspace Go to Edit > Options .

Casual users may never venture beyond simple collection, but the reveals powerful processing engines.

Access to files, edit commands, collect parameters, view settings, and spectral library tools.

Real-time feedback on bench alignment, laser status, and humidity levels. 2. Configuration and Bench Setup Experiment Setup

The software adjusts the band intensities, allowing you to compare your ATR data directly against standard transmission libraries. 6. Spectral Identification and Library Searching

Although advanced workflows are often associated with the newer OMNIC Paradigm , OMNIC 9 provides macro capability for repetitive tasks.
