Advanced features
Introduction
This chapter covers features experienced users can use to improve their analyses:
Obscuration settings – limits can be set, enabling the system to detect poor
conditions and take action if a limit is exceeded.
Advanced result processing – the result can be modified by performing a result
transformation or reducing the result range before displaying it in a graph or
table.
Editing results – data can be re-analysed using different parameters and the
result saved as a new record.
Defining user size bands – customising the particles size ranges used for col-
umns in histograms and tables.
Alarms – users can set three alarms that monitor various measurement states.
These are the cleanliness alarm, alignment alarm and diameter alarms.
Averaging records – creates an average record from several records (usually
repeats of the same sample).
Importing results from older instruments.
Result emulation – a technique that allows a Mastersizer result to be modified
to emulate a result from an alternative particle sizing technique.
