operations are
timed, and the system
returns to normal measurement routine
after completion of the operation.

4.6 Files
The system stores the measurement and calibration results into files. The system also maintains a log
file, which can be useful in cases of problems.
4.6.1 Result files
The result file contains the measurement results and is saved to a user defined path as defined in the
‘Program settings’. A new line is added to the file for every completed measurement. The columns in
the result and calibration files are <TAB> delimited for easy porting to other applications. See Figure
27 below for an example on a typical results file. The result file is ASCII text in format and it contains
the following columns, some of which can be optionally logged by selecting saving options from the
‘Program settings’ ‘Autosaving settings’ group.

Serial number of the analyzer
