The bottle purge time is the time dry carrier gas flows through the sample bottle before a test
begins. A value of 000 will disable the bottle purge. Any number other than 000 will adjust the
purge time to that number of seconds. Average materials may use 30 to 45 seconds to purge the
bottle. Samples that evolve moisture readily may need less than 30 seconds or no purge time at
all. This parameter, along with temperature and ending criteria, may be adjusted to optimize
results for any given material.
Note: There is also a Correlation Factor menu item in each memory start. This feature is not
active at this time and this menu item cannot be selected.
