Example
Tavg is set to Is (Tavg is T set in Measure mode).
The user sets the total time for the stability application to 8
minutes and 22 seconds. This is a total time of 502 seconds.
The instrument takes 502 samples, but discards every second
sample so that at the end, there are 251 evenly spaced samples.
When you select the Stability application the character field shows STABILTY.

Figure 3-5. Selecting an Application : Stability
This application has two parameters. T.TOTAL sets the total time for Stability
application. AUTODUMP enables or disables the automatic plotting or printing
of the samples when the application finishes. All the other parameters
(Wavelength, Tavg, etc.) use the values given to them in measure mode.
Press to look at, or edit the parameters. After pressing (Editl . you can select
parameters using [Next) and fPrev] . While you are editing a parameter, the EDIT
operation-indicator lights.
T_TOTAL
When you select this parameter, the left side character field shows the message
T.TOTAL. The right side character field shows the value for the total time.
■ You edit the time using the Modify keys. The lower limit for the time is 1
second. The higher limit for the total time is 99 hours, 59 minutes and 59
seconds. The displayed value is always the setting for the total time. Due to
the way the measurements are taken, you may find that the application runs
for a little longer than T.TOTAL. The difference of the actual total time from
T.TOTAL depends on a number of factors including the system configuration.
The worst case timing difference is 30s/h.
