Position Description

This area shows the first scene of the chosen determination movie.
Click onto a curve below to choose a point of interest at the temperature diagram. The displayed •
image will change simultaneously to the matching timestamp of recording.
For constant playback with adjustable speed, use the playback controls in the lower right corner •

This diagram shows the detected determination curves in different colors.
To show or hide curves, use the corresponding colored checkboxes. •
 Use the ‘Remarks’ text box to enter comments for a determination record at any time.

This area shows two different tables.
The first table lists the automatically detected melting point temperature of all three samples •
including their statistic values.
The second table can hold up to three values per sample set. Here, the user can manually add •
marks while a determination is in process.

The program function window allows to change between the main views ‘Results’ and ‘Methods’ for
melting point determination. Additionally, some program settings can be changed under ‘Settings’.
6.2.2 Recording a new melting point determination
To record a new melting point determination, the Melting Point M-565 should be linked to the •
PC first. In case the Melting Point M-565 and the PC have been linked before the determination
run starts, the recording data are automatically transferred to the computer. At this time, viewing
existing results or changing stored methods on the PC is still possible.
The recording takes place at the Melting Point M-565 which always keeps the last determination •
results in its internal storage. In case a determination run has already been finished, without the
Melting Point M-565 linked to the PC, it is possible to import the last set of results to the PC using
the import button (see section 6.2.3).
Information about the system status during determination are displayed in the ‘System status’ area.
Status in ‘System status’
area Description
Idle System is ready for a determination run..
Approaching System approaches the start temperature of the chosen method/settings.
Ready System has reached the programmed start temperature. Insert samples now.
Measuring .. Determination is beeing processed.
Completing Measurement Some internal tasks are about to be finished. System is cooling down to
environmental temperature in the meantime.
Realtime view during an ongoing recording
The software displays all necessary determination values in realtime, so the user can easily supervise
the automated process.
The temperature history is visualized by curves and the actual–temperature of the heating–block is •
continuously displayed. The scale of the grid is adapted to the determination curves accordingly.
During the recording, the live image changes continuously as the Melting Point M-565 is recording
•
a determination movie.
