Action Limits
The Action Limits are user-defined levels that are compared to the sample counts at the
completion of the measurement and are used to create a report action flag.
The iMatic allows four individual alpha and beta action limits to be independently set
for each user procedure (Procedures A - J). Two additional lines in the report header
area print the procedure action limit values.
The action limit values can also be printed on the report by selecting Alpha Limit or
Beta Limit as a field that is defined in the report. The sample warning flags are printed
in a Limit column as
*WARNING*
if the Warning level is exceeded and as
*ALARM*
if the Alarm Limit is exceeded.
Action Limits set the individual warning and alarm level limits for alpha and beta
counts in the same units selected as the Conversion Factor. You can enter a value from
0.00 to 1.0 x 10
18
.

Press the
Setup
