7 Measurement Settings
To set up a measurement, you need to specify a “method” and a “sample ID”.
- A “method” is a set of measurement settings, with the exception of
the separately defined measurement mode.
- “Sample IDs” identify your sample varieties.
To alter a measurement setting, edit the current method.
7.1 Setting the Measurement Mode
SBS-3510 features three measurement modes – “Precise”, “Fast”
and “Manual”.
For each measurement mode, different stability criteria have to be fulfilled
before the measuring result is stored. The stability criterion is always related
to the temperature:
•
Measurement mode “Precise”:
The result is stored as soon as the measured temperature value stays
within 0.2 K for 10 seconds.
This measurement mode delivers the most accurate results, but may
take a longer time in case the sample temperature differs greatly from
the ambient temperature.
•
Measurement mode “Fast”:
The result is stored as soon as the measured temperature value stays
within 0.4 K for 10 seconds.
This measurement mode delivers quicker results than the “Precise”
mode, but as the density is highly temperature-dependent, the measured
result is not as accurate.
•
Measurement mode “Manual”:
You decide yourself when your measurement result will be stored:
Tap the
key to store the result immediately.
To set the measurement mode
1. Tap <Menu> and select
Setup > Measurement Mode
.
2. Tap <Edit>.
3. Select a measurement mode.
4. Tap <Back> repeatedly to return to the main screen.
