Operation Manual, Version E

Within the settings for the blank correction,

∙ switch “Blank correction”

∙ switch “Auto blank generation”

OFF

∙ select

for “Use last measured blank”

∙ confirm your settings with

Press

MEAN

Enter a name for the mean blank value.

Check the check box of those measured blank
values that shall be used for the calculation of the
mean value.

Confirm your selection with

The calculated mean blank value is now automatically selected and shown in the list of blanks in the
Blank Correction screen.

Averaged blanks are listed in the blank list with type “mean”.

NOTE

If you select

Yes

for

“

Use last measured blank“ the next measured blank value will be used for the

correction of all subsequent sample determinations. All sample determinations up to the next blank
determination will still be corrected using the currently selected blank value.
