Operating your Moisture Analyzer - Section 6

6. Operating your Moisture Analyzer

This section contains information on the use of the Test Menu which will enable you to set the actual drying
parameters such as Profile, Switch-Off, Display, Print Intervals, Target Weight and the use of the library.

6.1 The operating concept

You have already set the Moisture Analyzer setup in Section 5 and have tried the simple moisture determination
in Section 3.  You are now ready to perform moisture determinations in a precise manner.  The test menu shown
in Section 4 offers a number of setting possibilities to match the measurement process to your specific require-
ments.  For instance, you can select the drying temperature, type of display and many other parameters.

Please keep in mind the importance of preparing your sample, the distribution of the sample on the weighing
pan, the type of sample and the temperature range.  Remember, the greater the number of uniform samples
tested, the greater the accuracy of the results.  Before starting your test, refer to Appendix A for Application
Examples.  There is a table which describes various sample types, sample weights, temperature programs and
drying temperatures.  You will find this reference table very helpful in establishing test criteria.  Please review this
entire section before actually making any settings to become familiar with the instrument.

6.2 Entering test ID

The TEST ID enables you to specify a name or date to identify the test,  Up to nine alphanumeric characters may
be entered. If an entry is not made, a default of the current date followed by A is automatically made.  If subse-
quent tests are made and entries to the TEST ID are disregarded, the current date is again displayed followed by
B, C etc.

TEST PARAMETERS

Press the 

Test Menu

 button, TEST LIBRARY is displayed.  The test library

is referred to in Section 7.  Complete information on how to use the library
is covered in this section.

When starting a new test, EDIT TEST is displayed.  Press the 

Enter

button.  The screen will change to TEST PARAMETERS.

Using the arrow buttons, enter either a test name or identifying number
and press the 

Enter

 button.  The display returns to TEST SETUP.

  TEST ID

TEST ID  DEFAULT is displayed when no tests have been entered, other-
wise, the last test appears and can be changed to a new test.  Press the
