Operation of the Instrument Panel
2.1.1
Display Window
The display window is a 128*64 pixels LCD, shows information including initialization status,
fluorescence value, concentration value, emission wavelength value, PMT level, concentration
factors, standard concentration, etc.
Symbol related:
1. “

Operation of the Function Keys
1. “Mode” Key : Select the operation mode. The switch circulation is as follow: Fluorescence
Value Mode -> Wavelength Mode -> PMT Level Adjust -> Concentration Input Mode -> Factors
Input Mode -> Concentration Mode -> Fluorescence Value Mode.
In Wavelength Mode and PMT Level Adjust, if parameter value set is different from current
value, use “Mode” key to cancel current value and return the set value.
2. “Print” Key: The “Print” key can print the current value if a dedicated serial interface printer
is installed in Fluorescence Value Mode and Concentration Mode. In other modes, the “Print” key
confirm the changed parameters.
3. “Adj 0” Key: In Fluorescence Value Mode, The key can adjust the current value to zero. In
Wavelength Mode, Concentration Input Mode and Factors Input Mode, the key can select every
single number from left to right. While selected, the value can be changed. In PMT Level Adjust,
The key can reduce PMT level.
4. “Normalize” Key: In Fluorescence Value Mode, The key will normalize current value to 100
and displays “%” symbol. Press again will cancel the normalization. In Wavelength Mode,
Concentration Input Mode and Factors Input Mode, the key will add the selected number from 0-9
in circulation. In PMT Level Adjust, The key can add PMT level.
