Configuration
The PDA-7000 comprises the following parts:
Excitation unit The spark stand generates sparks between the sample and the counter electrode. Emission spectra of
the elements in the sample are introduced into the monochromator unit.
Monochromator unit Splits the light into emission spectral lines. A sensor converts this light into electric currents.
Readout unit Measures the generated photocurrents.
Data processing unit Analyzes and processes the measured data.
