Abstract
In an analytic spectrometer (50) having a central computer (9), permanently installed and exchangeable components (5), such as a radiation source, a detector, a beam splitter, a filter, external measurement probes and the like, each of which exhibiting a readable data carrier (7) with encoded data of parameters characterizing the respective component (5), the data media (7) can be written to and contains changeable time dependent data concerning the history and/or the actual properties of the corresponding component (5) for example length of operation, performance deterioration parameters or calibration curves of the component (5). These data can be continuously adjusted by the central computer (9) to the current state of the component (5) so that the data medium (7) connected to the component (5) can immediately supply information concerning the current actual properties of the component (5) when installing the component (5) in another spectrometer.
