the heat of combustion in the calculations.
Heat of Combustion of Spike:

entered on sub-menu keyboard in cal/g.
Use Fixed Spike:
When set to ON, a constant amount of
spike is to be added to each test.

The precision of tests with fixed spikes can be no better than the repeatability of the spike
weight.
