6.1 User Programs

User programs provide the opportunity to complete "made to measure" analysis.

The User Programs database is empty when the instrument leaves the factory and is used to accommodate programs created by users specific needs. Here are a few examples of entries:

•Programming of user-created procedures. The analysis procedure must be developed first, before it can be programmed. The user must define or determine the program sequences, calculation formulas, measurement wavelengths, factors, measuring range limits, etc.

•Modified tests

•Assignment of user programs to the favorites menu for frequently used tests.

•Creation of a specific selection of methods and tests.

Press User Programs in the Main Menu and then

Program Options. The Program Options menu contains several input and editing options (Table 7):
