7 Performing a Measurement
Preparatory steps
Before you start a measurement, check that:
- the measuring cell is clean and dry,
- hoses are connected correctly,
- hose connections are tight,
- the waste hose leads into the waste container,
- the volume of the waste container is large
enough for the number of samples,
- suitable cleaning liquids are at hand.
To speed up measurements
• Bring the sample to measuring temperature in
advance.
• Select a faster measurement performance and
set measurement parameters so that the time
for temperature conditioning of the sample
becomes shorter (see section 6.3).
Consider, however, that your measurement
results will become less accurate by proceeding
so.
7.1 Starting a measurement

ment settings. See section 6.3 for a description of
available settings.
