The data sampling rate box allows you to set the data collection interval. The 50ms interval will provide the best resolution, but the maximum
recording time is 1 hour at this rate. Please set this to the appropriate value required for your experiment.
Data Collection
When a DSC stage is connected,
LINK will not record any data from the start ramp in any profile
, and will only collect data from the second ramp
onwards. This is to ensure that the temperatures on the DSC data run and overlays are synchronised.
DSC Chart
By default, two charts are displayed on the screen; (
1
) DSC power, images and temperature plotted against time, and (
2
) DSC power against
temperature.
The ratios of these charts can be adjusted using the "Chart Split" setting. Set this to 0% to see only the DSC v Temperature chart or 100% for solely
the Time chart. Please note that some features and traces ,such as the cursor tool, Peak measurement feature or image traces, are only available
within the Time chart.
Retrieving experiment information
Additional information about an experiment (such as the "Sample Notes" or the Microscope and Objective used) can be retrieved using the
following procedure:
1. Right Click on the Chart and select "Toolbox"
2. Click on the "About" Tab.
