7.1. Performing a Test
A Test Program for your material must be developed prior to using the MAX
®
4000 for
production testing:
• See section 8.1 Test Programs on page 41 for guidance setting up a Test Program.
This section helps you determine the proper test temperature, ending criteria, sample
size, and other parameters.
• The Parameter Expert feature (MAX
®
4000XL only, see section 8.6 Parameter
Expert on page 80) automatically selects most test parameters based on your
reference method results and then guides you through a series of tests to determine
the proper test temperature and ending criteria.
• AZI technical sales can develop Test Programs for your material.
After a new Test Program is developed, run 5 or more tests to obtain reliable information
about the standard deviation of a typical result. Each test result is automatically saved,
and the instrument can calculate the mean, standard deviation, and relative standard
deviation through the Test Results menu. Note, the MAX
®
4000 only stores 2 Test
Results.
To perform a test:
• If a clean pan is not already installed, then place a new/clean sample pan on the pan
support.
• Close the lid.
• If not at the Main Test screen, press
[ESC] repeatedly until the Main Test
screen is displayed.
• If the desired Test Program is not
currently active, press the
[PROGRAM] key, then highlight the
desired Test Program from the list.
• If desired, press [ENT] to view the test
parameters for the highlighted Test
Program prior to starting the test. A
screen similar to this one will be
displayed. The test parameters
cannot be edited from here, as
indicated by the lock icons. Press
[ESC] when done to return to the
TEST PROGRAM SELECT screen.
• From the TEST PROGRAM SELECT screen, press [START] to begin a test using the
highlighted Test Program.
