EDIT USER TESTS

If a test other than the LaMotte programmed tests is performed regularly, a

calibration for it may be entered in one of the 25 User Tests. These tests are

originally named “User Test 1 - 25”. It will be possible to rename the test, select

a wavelength, enter a new calibration, select the number of decimal places

used to display the results, and select the units. A User Test may be added for a

reagent system for which no precalibrated test exists. A calibration of a LaMotte

reagent system may also be entered. The calibration of a User Test can be

changed at any time.
The User Tests have the ability to handle 2 data points. The colorimeter will

determine the absorbance of the standards and calculate a response that

will be stored to determine the concentration of future samples of unknown

concentration. These standards should cover all the concentrations for the

range of the test being performed and be scanned beginning with the low

concentration and fi nishing with the high concentration (for more information

about this, see CALIBRATION CURVES, page 12). Prepare these standards prior

to entering a new calibration.
NOTE: A calibration procedure must be performed before using any of the User

Tests.
The User Tests can be placed in any of the alterable sequences using Edit

Sequences.
