6.4.10. CALIBRATION
Option: Measure Standards or Manual ABS Entry
This option allows users to calibrate user methods by measuring the absorbance of known standards or manually entering absorbance
values. Calibrations can contain up to 10 points.
Note: This option is only available if a concentration unit is selected (i.e. mg/L, meq/kg, etc.). A calibration cannot be entered
for methods using absorbance or % transmittance or multiwavelength methods. This option is only available for user methods.
Factory methods have pre-programmed calibration curves based on the wavelength, cuvette type and reagent set.
A calibration is required to run a new user method.
Press the
key to enter the menu. Use the
or
to select the desired option.
Press the
key to return to the calibration menu.
Once a method has been calibrated the will be displayed on the main screen when the method is selected. If a user method has
not been calibrated the error message "Not Calibrated" will be displayed.
MEASURE STANDARDS
This allows users to measure the absorbance of standards with a known concentration. Up to 10 points can be used to calibrate the
method.
Press the
CFM
key to start the calibration.
Press the
EDIT
key to modify the concentration for the first standard.
Use the
or
key to highlight the digit to be modified. Press the
or
keys to set the desired value.
Press
CFM
to confirm the value or
CLR
to delete set value.
Press the
or
key to abort the calibration.
