triggered when the alarm delay time has elapsed. This will prevent an excess 
amount of helium from entering the mass spectrometer. Consequently, the leak 
detection unit is prevented from becoming contaminated by helium. The helium 
entering the specimen can be pumped out using an external pump. If no pump is 
available, we recommend that you ventilate the specimen before continuing with 
the measurements.

Pressure limits for vacuum mode.

With this function the default settings for the pressure limits EVAC - GROSS and 
FINE can be changed.

This might be necessary if other gases than air will be pumped by the PHOENIX 
L300i. The pressure signal from the gas dependent inlet pressure (P1) will dump 
false signals. With changing the pressure limits this performance will be adjusted.
