Options | Description | |
|
| |
Store Off/On | With the Store On setting, all measurement data are stored automatically. With the Store Off | |
setting, no measurement data are stored. | ||
| ||
% Trans/Conc/Abs | To switch to % transmittance, concentration or absorbance readings | |
|

| This functions as a stopwatch. It helps to ensure that the steps of an analysis are correctly timed | |
Timer icon | (e.g. reaction times, wait times, etc., can be exactly specified). When the specified time has | |
elapsed, an acoustic signal is emitted. The use of the timer has no influence on the measurement | ||
| ||
| program. | |
|
| |
| A corrective dilution factor can be entered in order to take account of certain properties. | |
| The number entered at the dilution factor prompt will be multiplied by the result to compensate for | |
Dilution Factor Off/On | the adjustment. For example, if the sample has been diluted by a factor of 2, enter 2. The default | |
| setting of the dilution factor is turned off. | |
| Note: When a dilution is in effect, the dilution icon will appear on the display. | |
|
| |
Standard Addition | This enables the accuracy of the measurements to be checked. The (working) procedure for a | |
test parameter contains a detailed explanation of how to use this function. | ||
| ||
Standard Adjust | The (working) procedure for a test parameter indicates whether a standard adjustment is | |
necessary and, if so, how to proceed. | ||
| ||
|
| |
Chemical Form | Some of the stored tests/methods allow to select the chemical form and the measuring range. | |
|
| |
| Some of the stored tests/methods include the "Reagent Blank" function. This enables the reagent | |
| blank value to be added to or subtracted from, the subsequent readings. The reagent blank value | |
Reagent Blank | shifts the calibration curve along the | |
| The effect corresponds to a | |
| the following equation: Concentration = [(Conc. factor) * Abs] – (reagent blank value). | |
