Preparatory measuring mode
In preparatory measuring mode, predicted measurements are displayed while measuring is in
progress and measuring is halted under the same conditions as when operating in automatic
operation mode. The difference between the measured values of automatic operation mode and
pedictive measuring mode is displayed as the necessary bias.
In order to obtain accurate predicted measurements, it is recommended to perform at least 5
preparatory measurements and take the average to determine the bias.
You should also take care in terms of the amount of the sample and the way the sample material
is placed onto the sample pan. They must be the same every time and laid out as evenly as
possible.
Predictive measuring mode
Prior to predictive measurements, specify the same drying temperature, predicted value conver-
gence range, and bias as calculated from preparatory measurements.
Note that measuring is halted if no predicted measurement has been calculated after 30 minutes
have elapsed after starting the measurement.
