Status Display & Information field

In the main menu (cf. „2.1 The procedure step by step“ field „(C)“ and „(D)“) you get
information about the connection of the HydroTracer (and the serial scale), as well as a status
message about the HydroTracer itself.

If  the  HydroTracer  and  a  serial
balance  are  connected,  you  will
receive  this  information  in  the
Information field (C).

If no scale is connected, only the
HydroTracer with the COM port
number is displayed.

The field (D) gives you information
about the operating status of the
HydroTracer.

Three status messages are possible here:

1.

"Ready" – the HydroTracer is ready for a measurement

2.

“Warm Up" – the HydroTracer is not yet on stand-by temperature and is warmed up

3.

“Systemtest” – the HydroTracer performs an internal system test. This happens every
time after switching on the instrument.

4.

"Cool Down" – the HydroTracer is currently cooling down to the stand-by temperature
of 50 °c
