UV-Visible Detectors eLearning Courses

UV-Visible Detectors eLearning courses provide you with foundational knowledge and basic skills that you need to use and benefit from your instrument. You will find a series of eLearning courses which can cover different topics such as foundational theory and/or basic operations principle and/or user maintenance and troubleshooting.

The Variable Wavelength Detectors Foundational Theory eLearning course provides an overview of the theory behind the operation of variable wavelength detectors. Included in this course is:

• Fundamental theory and purpose of a VWD
• The optical design used by VWD and how a VWD works in principle
• Critical features of the VWD including working range and data acquisition modes VWDs can use

The Variable Wavelength Detectors basic operations and best practices eLearning course will provide insight into programming the detector for operation. It also includes critical items necessary to ensure optimized data quality generated by the Variable Wavelength Detector (VWD) and special considerations to which apply to Variable Wavelength Detectors.
