is the diffusivity, and t is the test time from the thermal conductivity calibration. The
thermal diffusivity, heat capacity, or density must be entered for this value to be calculated.
4.8 Altering the Test Method during the Test
The test method can be altered during the test by clicking the Alter Test Method button at the top
of the test window. Changes made to the test method in this window last only for the duration of
the test. The test method record is not altered.
4.9 Changing the Units of Measurement
Imperial, SI, and CGS units are available for use. Note that this feature requires restarting the
software.
Step 1 – Select Change Units of Measure from the Tools menu.
Step 2 – Select the units from the drop-down list.
Step 3 – Click the OK button.
Step 4 – Log out and restart the software.
4.10 Auto Testing
Multiple repeated tests can be performed in the same manner as standard tests. Create a test
method with the desired interval between tests.
Step 1 – Open the test method table.
Step 2 – Click the New button.
Step 3 – Enter the test method name.
Step 4 – Select the project and calibration method.
