To set or change slope:
§
Press the
4
key from the Program Menu to display
the Slope screen. The current initial weight percent-
age is shown.
§
Use the numeric keys type in the desired %IW, then
press the
Enter
key.
§
Note that there are some advanced options indicat-
ed by
Time
and
Calc
on the soft keys. To change
these features, see “Windows of Time” or “Calcula-
tion Endpoint.”
§
When all the parameters for Slope have been
changed, press the
Enter
again or the
Arrow
key to
return to the Program menu.
Window of Time
To set or change window of time:
§
Press the
Time
soft key to display the Window of
time screen.
§
Use the numeric keys to type in the desired window
of time, then press the
Enter
key. The display will
return to the Slope screen.
Endpoint Calculation
There are three additional advanced slope settings
called Calc 1, Calc 2 and Calc 3, which are algo-
rithms that calculate the endpoint prior to achieving
the actual slope. These will provide more rapid
results on some samples; however, the success of the
Calc mode varies from case to case.
To set or change Calc endpoint:
§
Press the
Calc
soft key to display the Calc menu.
§
Press a number key to select the desired calculation
setting. The display will return to the Slope screen.
§
If developing a method, check the correlation of
each Calc mode starting with Calc 1 to the actual
endpoint result.
