1.2 Structure and Operation of the Software
The Lumat software is designed for the applications and
processes found in luminescence measurement. In addition to the
five measurement modes, we also distinguish between routine
and single measurements. Kinetic measurements can also be
performed with Lumat.
Routine measurements
Measurement protocols Measurement protocols defining the parameters for measurement
and evaluation are generally set up once for routine
measurements. To run a measurement, one simply uses an
existing protocol and starts the measurement.
Lumat can store up to 40 different measurement protocols. When
creating a protocol, select one of the measurement types
described above and the entry sequence for this measurement
type will appear on the instrument display. Each entry is
automatically printed out on the integrated thermal printer, so that
each protocol is documented.
Once you have set up a measurement protocol with the
parameters you need, you can use it as often as you choose for
later measurements.
Measurements Measurements based on these stored protocols can be performed
by simply selecting one of them and starting the measurement. In
accordance with the instructions defined in the measurement
protocol, instructions for the operations that are expected of the
user and the sequence of tubes being measured are displayed on
the LCD.
Printout At the start of the measurement, all essential parameters are
printed out, followed by the results of the measurement obtained
by the calculation methods defined by the selected measurement
protocol.
Single measurements
You may often want to try out new parameters instead of the
stored protocols. If this is the case, the Raw data measurement
type allows you to enter measurement parameters immediately
before starting a measurement, and then start the measurement.
The most recently used parameter set will remain stored between
individual measurements, allowing for easy correction.
