This document is part numbered 849940090071

Version 1.02

From Analytes use the Periodic Table and a left click on the element of choice to auto pick from
the top of the preferred wavelength list.

Where the first element wavelength is not desired, a right click will bring up a window and allow
optional selections. This also will show interfering elements graphically (assuming they are the
same concentration as the analyte).
