Oxford Instruments X-MET8000 Series, Руководство оператора

Страница: 27 / 121

At the end of the measurement time, the X-MET8000 series makes a ‘ping’ sound. It is also possible
to use the internal timer to fully control the measurement. This is known as ‘Timed Assay’. The operator
pulls the trigger, and then releases it to start the measurement. The internal timer automatically stops
the measurement.
When Timed Assay is off, the operator must release the trigger when the ‘ping’ sounds to stop the
measurement. The Results screen refreshes approximately every 2 seconds, and the operator can
decide to release the trigger before the ‘ping’ sounds to stop the measurement immediately.
Timed Assay is very useful for longer measurements and measurements with the bench-top stand. It
is also useful to make sure that a batch of measurements all have the same measurement time.
It is possible to set the measurement time to zero. There is no ‘ping’ sound, and the operator must
decide when to stop the measurement. If Timed Assay is off, the operator pulls the trigger to start the
measurement, and then releases the trigger to stop the measurement. If Timed Assay is on, the
operator pulls and releases the trigger to start the measurement, and then pulls and releases it again
to stop the measurement.
