To set up the PASCOS SE-7182 Fiber Optic Cable Kit with the UV-VIS Spectrometer, follow these steps:

1. Insert the fiber optic cable into the reflective cuvette.
   - Place the nut on the cable over the threads in the cuvette and turn the nut until finger-tight.

2. Insert the reflective cuvette into the UV-VIS Spectrometer. Align the triangle on the cuvette with the notch on the test chamber.
   - It is important to align the cuvette correctly to ensure that the fiber optic cable points at the light sensor and not the UV light source.

3. Point the other end of the fiber optic cable at a light source.
   - You can attach the end of the cable to a stand and position the probe as close to the light source as possible without touching it.

Once the setup is complete, you can proceed with collecting data using the Spectrometry software. Here are the steps for data collection:

1. Open the Spectrometry app.

2. Connect the UV-VIS Spectrometer to Spectrometry.

3. Select "Analyze Light" in the software.

4. Click on "Record" to start recording the data.
   - If the data appears to be too noisy, you can click on "Auto Set" under "Integration Time" to adjust the integration time automatically.

5. Click on "Stop" to keep the recorded data.
