7.4 Change the application settings

N O T I C E

 

The applications installed on the instrument have been pre-defined to optimize the measurement
process. Changing these default application parameters will have an effect on the measurement
process and measurement results. Only qualified personnel should change these parameters or
use the instrument in 

Expert mode

. Refer to the application note before changing any

parameters.

N O T I C E

 

In 

Basic mode

 changes to parameters are secure. In 

Expert mode

 changes to parameters are

not secure and can cause the application to run incorrectly.

Refer to 

Change application parameters

 on page 63 for a list of parameters that can be

changed in basic and expert mode.
Refer to 

Sample name

 on page 38 for special features on the sample name.

1.

From the home screen, select 

Settings

.

2.

Select 

Applications

 followed by 

Edit

.

3.

If more than one application is installed, choose an application to change from the
installed list and then push 

Edit

.

4.

Push the left and right arrow keys to jump to the previous or next parameter group.
Push the up and down arrow keys to scroll through the application parameters in the
parameter group.

5.

The 

Edit

 key is only available when a parameter can be changed. Push 

Edit

 to

change the parameter. Enter the new details or select from a list.

Note: A description of the selected parameter is shown on the bottom of the display.

7.4.1 Sample name

The two wildcard characters 

?

 (question mark) and 

*

 (asterisk) can be used to

automatically increment the sample name.
Use the question mark character to increment the name using an integer. For example,
where 

Water

 is the name of the sample:

Select 

Settings > Applications > Edit

 and change the sample name to 

Water ?

The sample name for the first measurement is 

Water 1

The sample name for the next measurement is 

Water 2

, etc.

The integer value is always set back to 1 when the instrument is set to off

Use the asterisk character in the name to increment the name using the instrument date
and time in 

YYMMDDHHMMSS

 format. For example, where 

Water

 is the name of the

sample:

Select 

Settings > Applications > Edit

 and change the sample name to 

Water *

The sample name for the first measurement made on 27th February 2015 at
15:30:25 is 

Water 150227153025

The sample name for the next measurement made on 28th February 2015 at
16:32:47 is 

Water 150228163247

, etc.

The value is not reset when the instrument is set to off

Use both characters in the name to increment the name using an integer and the
instrument date and time. For example, where 

Water

 is the name of the sample:

Select 

Settings > Applications > Edit

 and change the sample name to 

Water ? *

The sample name for the first measurement made on 27th February 2015 at
15:30:25 is 

Water 1 150227153025
