The microprocessor controller in this calorimeter has
been pre programmed to automatically prompt the user
for all required data and control input and to:
Generate all temperature readings in the •
calorimeter.
Monitor jacket as well as bucket temperature.
•
Confirm equilibrium conditions. •
Fire the bomb. •
Confirm that ignition has occurred. •
Determine and apply all necessary heat leak •
corrections.
Perform all curve matching and extrapolations
•
required for dynamic operation.
Terminate the test when it is complete.
•
Monitor the conditions within the calorimeter and •
report to the user whenever a sensor or operating
condition is out of normal ranges.
