The Update Settings Command
An update may be necessary after the system has been installed, relocated or the probe
assembly has been changed. An instrument settings update is also recommended if the
Daily Check fails and no other cause of the failure can be localized. One should first check
the sample, the cable connections and the sample position inside the probe before running
Update Settings.
For instrument optimization it is recommended running the Update Settings routine. The
Update Settings routine can also be used to update selected settings.
If the Update Settings menu stays disabled on a connected minispec, customize your
minispec software (through the Welcome Box) to provide access to the calibration
parameters.
The Daily Check Command
A blue mark (validated) symbol on the right side of the Info Toolbar indicates a well checked
minispec instrument.
This option tests the instrument settings but does not change them. A quick check is
recommended once a day (every 24 hours). A checkmark (Checked) in the Info toolbar
signifies a well-checked minispec instrument. An un-calibrated minispec instrument is
indicated by a yellow mark (Check!).
To run the Daily Check, use the corresponding toolbar button or select Daily Check from the
menu. If one of the checks fails it indicates that there is a mismatch between the expected
and the given performance. Use the Update Settings command to perform an update, but
make sure before that everything is well connected/adjusted and no other problem applies.
Double check that the sample used is the correct one.

The Balance Settings Command
One can connect a scale by serial interface to the PC's communication port in order to
electronically transfer sample weight information (weights are necessary for some absolute
applications). To enter the port configuration dialog, close all minispec applications, then
select Balance from the Setup menu. Access is limited to users who have permission to
enter the minispec main menu or calibration. Select the balance type, then the port to
connect the balance to. Select the port parameters according to the settings on the scale. To
set the standard values, click Default before leaving the Settings Table. To leave the Settings
Table unchanged, click Cancel. To re-load old settings from file after modifications, click Re-
Read. To leave the Settings Table with the new values, click OK.
