2. Use the number keys to enter the appropriate
minimum or maximum value for the X- or Y-
axis, then press the appropriate function key
(
Min Y, Max Y, Min X, Max X ) to accept it. The
instrument redraws the plot using the minimum
and maximum value you have entered and
displays the recalculated rate and result.
3. Continue until you have entered all the values
you want to change.
To use the cursor
1. With your kinetics data displayed on the edit
screen, press
Cursor . The cursor options
appear.
2. Press Cursor
← ←

to position the
cursor line on the appropriate point on the
graph. The instrument displays the data for the

Set Min X or Set Max X to accept the
selected point. The instrument redraws the plot
using the minimum and maximum value you
have selected and displays the recalculated
rate and result.
Rescaling & recalculating tabular kinetics
results
When you are working with tabular kinetics results,
you need to press
Edit Data before you can
rescale and recalculate.
After collecting your kinetics data, you can use all
the data for the rate calculation or you can select
specific start and end times. Whenever you modify
the start and end times or select all the data, the
instrument automatically recalculates and displays
the new reaction rate and result.
When the edit screen appears, you can:
•
Use all the data to recalculate the results
• Select specific start and end times for the rate
calculation and recalculate the results.
To use all the data to calculate the reaction rate
1. With your table of kinetics data displayed on the
edit screen, press
Use all data . The instrument
calculates the rate and displays it on the screen.
To select specific start and end times for the
rate calculation
1. With your table of kinetics data displayed on
the edit screen, use the arrow keys on the
keypad to move the highlight symbol (
→ →
) to the
appropriate data point in the table.
2. Press Start Time or End Time . The instrument
displays the recalculated rate and result.
