Measuring period
Now the sample is heated to the selected temperature. The current heating temperature is
shown in the digital display
(D).
In the diagram
(E)
the current total amount of water is shown in [mg]. That means both the
amount of water from the sample and the amount of water from the ambient air introduced
during the filling procedure are displayed.
The measuring time depends on the type of sample and the amount of water contained and
is between 12 - 40 minutes. The display field
(A)
shows: the time of the beginning of the
measurement, the description of the material sample, the initial weight and - after approx.
500 seconds - the water content* of the material sample in % and ppm.
* Until the end of the measurement, this is a prognosis that interpolates the function of water
increase over time. Only when the HydroTracer has finished the measurement, the result is
displayed correctly.
Also shown are the button
(B)
to prematurely end the current measurement as well as the
selection menu
(C)
, which is only displayed after the end of the measurement.
