5. Performing measurements
5.1. Insert sample vial
The milk sample to be measured is pipetted into a sample vial. The sample quantity must
be between 2.0 ml and 2.5 ml, preferably 2.2 ml. The sample vial is placed at the
measuring point.
5.2. Start measurement
By touching
Measure
a new
measurement starts. The chart shows
the actual temperature of the
thermistor in degree Celsius. On the
vertical axes are the temperature
values. On the horizontal axes the time
in seconds. The measurement can be
stopped by touching
Stop
.
After reaching the triggering
temperature (beat temperature), e.g.
-2.00°C, the machine changes over to
plateau display. This means the
temperature range is displayed
strongly magnified. The area
underneath the green line represents
the specified plateau criterion. Thus it
can be checked in a simple and
retraceable way whether the specified
plateau criterion is satisfied. If the
plateau criteria are reached, the
measurements stops and values are
saved.
5.3. Saving measurements
If an USB-stick is connected while measuring, the measured values are saved for further
processing on the stick.
