Absorbance measures the amount of light absorbed by the sample, in units of absorbance.
%Transmittance measures the percent of the original light that passes through the sample and reaches the detector.
Turning on the concentration factor allows selection of a specific multiplier for converting absorbance readings to concentration. In a graph of concentration versus the absorbance, the concentration factor is the slope of the line. Concentration is calculated using a single factor for each wavelength, which is input by the user.
