Hach DR 2800 Options Description Store Off/On, Trans/Conc/Abs, Send Data icon, Timer icon

Standard Operations

	Table 4 Stored programs options (continued)
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
Send Data icon /	To send Data to a printer, computer or USB memory stick (Type A)

	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 y-axis, without changing the shape or gradient of the curve.
	The effect corresponds to a y-axis intercept of the calibration straight line. This is made clear by
	the following equation: Concentration = [(Conc. factor) * Abs] – (reagent blank value).
Save as User Program	To store the selected parameters as a User Program, see section 6.1 on page 61.
Recall Data	Call up saved measurement data or time courses, see section 5.3 on page 37.
Instrument Setup	Basic data of the instrument, see section 5.2 on page 27.
