Chapter 4. Basic Analyzer Operation
Overview
The Sievers 900 On-Line TOC Analyzer utilizes a touch-sensitive color LCD for all menu selection
activities. An overview of the menu structure is given in “The Menu Screen” on page 91. An overview
of hardware features starts on page 119.
When the Analyzer is first powered on, the Startup screen displays basic GE Analytical Instruments
contact information and the firmware version number. The Analyzer then begins initialization to
check the status of consumables and prepare for taking measurements. When the Analyzer is done
with initialization, the Main screen automatically displays. If Password protection or DataGuard is
enabled, you will be required to log in before starting analysis or proceeding to the Menu screen.
Note that some menu options may not be available, depending on the mode in which the Analyzer
is operating. In particular, when the Analyzer is performing analysis, menu options that can affect
analysis are not available (they appear “grayed out”).
Note:
If your configuration will include an system, consult the
’s Operation and Maintenance Manual for details on operating the Analyzer via the PC
software.
