4.11.3 Measurement datasets
Elements of a
measurement
dataset
A complete measurement dataset consists of:
z Consecutive number (is automatically assigned by the photometer)
z Date/time
z Identification (e.g. ID or "AutoStore")
z User name
z Measured parameter, e.g. method number, dilution, wavelength
(depending on the measuring mode)
z Measured value with unit and, if necessary, citation form
Operations with
measurement
datasets
Measurement datasets can be
z stored (see section 4.11.4)
z displayed and printed (see section 4.11.6)
z filtered, i.e. selected or hidden based on certain criteria (see section 4.11.7
and section 4.11.8)
z deleted (see section 4.11.9).
If the storage is full You can erase measurement datasets (see section 4.11.9), or overwrite the
oldest dataset with the next storing procedure. A security prompt appears
before a dataset is overwritten. To backup the measurement data, you can
transmit the measurement datasets from the measurement data memory to
the internal DataB folder or a USB memory device connected to the USB-A
connection and archive them further from there (see section 4.12.3).
4.11.4 Saving measurement datasets manually
After each measurement, you can store the measurement data manually with
the <STORE> key. It is stored in the measurement data memory. The
memory symbol
in the header indicates that the measurement data
displayed on the screen is ready to be stored. With the measuring modes,
Concentration, Absorbance / % Transmission, and Multi wavelengths you
have the additional option to automatically store all new measured values at
the time of the measurement (AutoStore, see section 4.11.5).
Storing with
identification (ID)
When storing manually, an input field for the identification (ID) appears after
pressing the <STORE> key. Here you can enter an individual combination of
alphanumeric characters for later easier identification of the measurement
datasets. 30 digits are available for this.
