Tutorial Session
using a single instrument, each person can use an individual
number for printed reports. If more than one MicroFID is
being used, each instrument can have its own ID number on
printed reports.
If an ID number is not required, leave this option blank and
move to the next option by pressing ENTER.
6. Enter the baud rate. This value is specific to the printer
being used and must be set correctly. Refer to the printer
user’ s manual to determine the correct baud rate
7. Enter the parity. The parity is specific to the printer being
used and must be set correctly. Most printers will have
parity set to none.
8. When the setup is correct, ensure the printer is on­line and
press ENTER.
MicroFID stores one set of readings (Min, Avg and Max) each
interval. In each averaging interval the printed minimum is the
minimum of all the stored readings in that interval. The printed Avg
is the average of all the recorded average readings and the Max is
the maximum of all the recorded maximum readings. In Method 21
operation, the background, sample and the difference are stored.
When you are using interval mode, the date and time are printed
along with the event name, repair code and the minimum, average
and maximum concentration of each interval. The date, time, event
name, and repair code are only printed when they change.
