Q
What manual says about vibration for QUANT’X ?
A
Vibration The instrument is moderately sensitive to vibration. Microphonic noise is generated by capacitive coupling between the internal components of the X-ray detector. The result is could be degraded resolution which will would adversely affect accuracy and precision. Both the amplitude and frequency of the vibration are important factors. In general, the lower the frequency of vibration, the larger the amplitude required to produce noticeable degradation. A rough rule of thumb is: if you can feel the vibration with your hand, it may be a problem.
Potential sources of vibration are:
- Heavy machinery operating nearby.
- Other equipment placed on, or in contact with, the table (such as the vacuum pump).
