Optimizing basic instrument settings
Analyzer configuration
You can optimize the following by means of configuration:
 Interface properties
 Signature program properties
 Device parameter
See Configure analyzer (on page 77).
Reacting to irregularities
If irregularities occur during the analysis, it is important for the user to quickly identify any errors. In
the "Error handling" dialog the user defines how the analyzer is to react to incidents.
Incident Consequences
During analysis, the computed element
contents exceed the defined tolerances. If standard tolerance monitoring is enabled, the analysis is
aborted. "Tol" is displayed in the information column of the
particular sample.
A critical error occurs. The analyzer is stopped after the analysis.
A non-critical error occurs. If you have set the analyzer to stop after a set number of
non-critical errors and this number has been reached, the
analyzer is stopped after the analysis.
See Error handling (on page 316).
Defining custom methods
Depending on what sample substances you want to analyze, it may be necessary to define custom
methods in addition to the default methods.
Methods allow to set certain parameters for sample specific requirements.
See Defining custom methods (on page 131).
Sleep/wake-up behavior
For sleep/wake-up behavior, you can specify that conditioning samples in a series are measured
before the first user starts work on the instrument in the morning. See Optimizing sleep and wake-
up behavior (on page 135).
Optimizing sample data editing
Facilitating input of samples
In the "Input options" dialog you can define settings that facilitate sample data input in the following
cases:
 An identical sample name is used several times.
 You need to increment or decrement a figure in the sample names.
 One method is used for numerous samples.
 You need to input a daily factor for numerous samples.
 You need to input a blank value for numerous samples.
See Input options (on page 307).
