Performing measurements
1. Using the steps as detailed in the 'Using a stored method' to select the
required method.
2. Prior to taking any measurements make certain that the correct excitation or
emission filter modules are fitted and that a valid calibration (as detailed in
Section 8) has been completed.
3. Before taking any measurements it is worth considering the utilisation of
functions such as AUTO SAVE and AUTO PRINT to provide easy access
and analysis of results at a later time. These are fully explained in the
following section 'Saving results' and 'Printing results'.
4. If readings are required at regular timed intervals, the TIMED READ facility
can be applied. The use and setting of this is detailed separately in section
'Timed readings' below.
5. Once in measure mode, place the sample (solution of unknown
concentration) to be measured into the cuvette holder of the sample chamber
and close the lid.
6. Move the on screen highlight, using the left and right arrow keys, to the READ
option and press the enter key.
7. A status message "Reading…" will be shown throughout the duration of the
measurement.
8. Once the measurement is complete, the calculated concentration of the
sample will be shown, at the resolution and with the units of measure as set in
MEASURE SETUP
.
9. This measurement can then be saved or printed as detailed in the sections
below entitled 'Saving results' and 'Printing results'.
10. Further measurements can be taken by use of the READ option.
NOTE:
AUTO SAVE, AUTO PRINT and TIMED READ are all related to the
selected method.
