Advanced Operations

Concentration factor:

1. Press Concentration Factor: Off in the Options menu. Press

On to highlight this feature.

2. Press the ”Factor“ key and use the alphanumeric keypad to

enter the factor by which absorbance readings are to be

multiplied. Press the ”Unit“ key to select the units for

concentration measurements or to create a new unit.

3. Press OK to confirm.

1. Press Concentration Resolution in the Optionsmenu.

2. Select the resolution and press OK to confirm.

Reading Mode

Single Reading Mode: A reading is only displayed after a measurement has been carried out

(press Read; standard setting) (see section 6.4.2 on page 89).

Continuous Reading Mode: After the zero measurement, all readings are displayed

automatically and continuously (see section 6.4.3 on page 89).

Save as User Program To store the selected parameters as a User Program, see section6.1 on page 61

Recall Data Call up saved measurement data, wavelength scans or time courses, see section5.3 on

page 35.

InstrumentSetup Basic data of the instrument, see section 5.2 on page 23.
