Abstract

This paper explores the role of instrument engineering parameters in master–slave optical differences. Engineering parameters with significant (p = 0.05) impact were classified into three groups according to the magnitude of their influence (analysis of variance mean squares) on optical differences. The only parameter with high influence was preamplifier gain. Filter area, filter bandwidth, detector temperature, idle filter wheel temperature, sample temperature and optics unit differences exerted medium impact. There were seven properties with low but still significant impact. Software was developed to aid users and manufacturers in selecting optical standardisation and in diagnosing instrument differences.
