Prerequisites and limitations
Cyclic measurements are intended to monitor one or more analytes over the course of time.
The repetition mode for applications can be generally used. Nevertheless, extra care should be taken with
application design to ensure smooth operation - the system cannot judge if a specific configuration does
indeed make sense or not. So please have a look at the ‘Tips and Tricks’ chapter to avoid some common
pitfalls.
Applications for cyclic measurement have one limitation: The “Number of repetition of measurements in
case of an Out Of Specification” [result] is automatically set to zero if “Cyclic measurement enabled” is
selected.
Manual SST and referencing
Automatic SST- and reference measurements can interfere with the sample measurement cycle.
Therefore, it is advisable to disable the SST. The external reference measurement must be switched to
‘Manual’ shortly before the actual measurement start.
The internal reference measurement can remain on ‘Automatic’ if slower processes are monitored, where
a short delay of a single measurement in the cycle is tolerable.
IMPORTANT!
The actual implementation of cyclic measurements is NOT yet intended to be used for process
control, but is strictly limited monitoring applications that have no safety demands towards this
feature.
Configuring an application for cyclic measurement
To configure an application for cyclic measurements, proceed as follows:
In the NIRWare Management Console select Application Designer - <YourApplication> - Operator
Configuration - Cyclic Measurement Configuration.
The following dialog opens:
