What Makes this Analyzer

Different?

As you become familiar with your new analyzer, you will find that most

measurements look like those made with other types of analyzers with which you

are probably familiar. This chapter introduces you to the reasons for the

similarities, differences, and increased capabilites of this analyzer as compared to

other types of analyzers.
