Units Seconds
Description
The length of time over which the analyzer averages when it is doing a zero or span.
Usage
During a zero or span, the analyzer averages its readings over a period given by this
variable. This gives a more accurate calibration than would be provided by a possibly
short value of AFT90_. It also detects whether there is a statistically significant slope
during this time, and if so it waits either until the slope has become insignificant,
before zeroing or spanning, or until CALTIMEOUT, whatever is first.

Type Integer
Value range
0-120
Units Seconds
Description
The maximum time the analyzer will wait for stability during a zero or span.
Usage
See CALTIME. This variable limits the amount of time the analyzer will spend waiting
for stability. If this time is exceeded, the analyzer will zero or span anyway, though if
CALCHKLIMITS is enabled it may not complete the zero or span.

Value range

Units cc/min
Description
CLD only; the flow rate through the installed capillary
Usage
Used to determine the signal gains used for each range. The CLD output is directly
proportional to the flow rate, and so changes in this require changes in gain to
compensate.
