Operating Counter

6-7

SAMPLE: 

The Sample Time (hh:mm:ss) is the duration of one 

counting cycle. The Sample Time will count down on the MAIN 

screen when the instrument is in AUTO or Manual mode so the user 

can see how much time is remaining in the sample period. In 

Concentration mode, the Sample Time will count up to 6 seconds 

per cycle.

Note: 

If Hold time is 

greater than 1 minute, the 
pump will stop during that 
time. At the end of the hold 
time, the pump will restart.

HOLD:   

Displays the hold time in between cycles. The maximum 

hold time is 99 hours, 59 minutes, 59 seconds.

RECS:

 This displays the current number of records stored in the 

instrument and the total number of records that can be stored. The 

data buffer is a circular buffer. The instrument can store up to 3000 

records. An asterisk (*) will appear in front of counts when the 

buffer wraps. 

START/STOP:

 Press START button on the screen to start 

counting. When running, the instrument will display 

“COUNTING” in the lower right corner of the screen as shown in 

Figure 6-5. Press the STOP button to stop counting; the word 

“STOPPED” will display.
