SAMPLE IDENTIFICATION
The sample ID is a 16 character (or shorter) string of characters. The last character will be automatically
incremented at each firing. That is to say that a 5 is incremented to 6, and ‘C’ increments to ‘D’. If a short
SID is used, followed by spaces, then the last non-space character is incremented.
GROUP IDENTIFICATION
The Group ID is a 16 character (or shorter) string.
SPIKE MASS
Enter the weight of the spike mass here. A spike mass of zero disables spiking. For details of spiking see
www.ddscalorimeters.com .
BALANCE MASS
The supplied balance cable (Part No: 3K-BC, D9 to D25) can be connected to a suitable balance and
then the weight is transferred automatically to the CAL3K-A display. Then ‘ENTER’ must be pressed to
LOCK the mass in to the calorimeter.
OPEN LID
The lid can be open at any given time. The present operation is terminated and the lid is opened. If
one does this during the main period then the sample is aborted and the premature termination is
logged.
VESSEL USER TEST
This requires that the vessel is in the well and that the vessel has a firing wire.
