2.2.2 Test Preparation Dialogue
The test preparation dialogue is for preparing and setting a test.
The dialogue is displayed after the power is turned on and the
analyzer starts up.
IMPORTANT
In dialogues (including test preparation dialogue) displayed
when performing tests, there are 2 kinds of dialogue: one is the
basic dialogue, which does not display the sample state display
area; another is the advanced dialogue, which displays the
sample state display area. By using the Display/Hide Sample
State Display button, operators can display/hide the area.
This manual gives operating instructions taking the advanced
dialogue (with the sample state display area) as an example.
