Slit Test (G7117B)

The slit test verifies correct operation of the micromechanical slit.

During the test, the slit is moved through all slit positions while the detector monitors the lamp intensity change. When the slit position is changed, the intensity drop (move to smaller slit) or intensity increase (move to larger slit) must be within a defined range.

If the intensity changes are outside the expected range, the test fails.

When

In case of problems.
