Parameter
Description
Change Mode
Change to Abs
Change to %T
Switches measurement modes (Basic A-%T-C and some Performance
Verification tests)
Collect Baseline
Starts the collection of the baseline (Scanning)
Concentration
Sets the concentration value
Conc. of Standard
Displays the entered concentration value (Adv A-%T-C)
Cursor
Goes to cursor tracking mode to view data points in graph (Kinetics, Scanning)
←Cursor
Cursor→
Moves the cursor right or left on the graph and displays the data of each point
(Kinetics, Scanning)
Curve Fit
Selects the type of line fit calculation (Standard Curve)
Data File Name
Allows entry of a name for the data file when AutoSave is on
Date Standards
Measured
Displays the date when standards were last measured (Standard Curve)
Date/Time Setup
Enters the current date and time settings for the instrument (Utility)
Delay Time
Enters the time from test initiation to first measurement; allows for sample
equilibration (Adv A-%T-C and Kinetics)
Delete Character
Deletes the last character of name entry (Test Name and Edit [Units])
Delete File
Deletes a test or data file from the Stored Tests Directory (Utility)
Delete Name
Deletes the entire name to allow a new entry (Test Name and Edit [Units])
Delete nm
Removes a wavelength and factor from the list (Multiwavelength and
Performance Verification)
Diluent Volume
Enters the volume of diluent added before measurement (Dilution Multiplier in
some Bio Tests)
Dilution Multiplier
Displays the factor used to correct for sample dilution
Display Activity
Indicates whether results should include protein concentration
DNA ε(260)
Calculates the extinction coefficient
DNA Factor
Enter the factor to calculate DNA concentration (DNA Bio Tests)
Edit
Changes a wavelength or factor in the list (Multiwavelength and Performance
Verification)
Edit Curve
Manipulates the graph (Kinetics)
Edit Data
Selects a portion of data in a table for recalculation of result (Kinetics, Scanning)
Edit Graph
Manipulates the graph (Scanning)
Edit Scale
Changes the graph axis scales and view individual data points (Scanning)
Factor
Enters a factor to convert a datum to a result
Abs x Factor 1 = Concentration Result
Abs/min x Factor 2 = Kinetics Result
Can be entered or calculated from concentration and absorbance in Adv A-%T-C
Factor 1
Enters a factor to convert a datum to a result
Abs(WL1) x Factor = Result
(Abs Ratio, Abs Difference, Multiwavelength)
Factor 2
Enters a factor to convert a datum to a result
Abs(WL2) x Factor = Result
(Abs Ratio, Abs Diff, Multiwavelength)
