Abstract
Background profiles for spectrometers are obtained by recording a number of background measurements over a period of time and analysing the measured data to create a statistical model of the instrument. The result is a set of stored background profiles with low noise level which are available when a sample measurement is made. The operator does not have to allow time to collect a background measurement as is the case in conventional techniques.
