- If the line “M” of a group is assigned, automatically also each single
measurement of this group is assigned.
- During normal operations, it’s possible to create as many lines, until
there is still place on the turntable plate (thus max. 40).
State (available in sub-section “Sample”, “Links” and “Results”): Enter in the
menu to define the type of measurement.
- Normal measurement : it refers to a normal run of a sample with unknow Hg
concentration. To start, it is necessary to insert the amount of the sample and
choose a calibration curve and analysis method to which the measurement can
refer.
Otherwise the measurement can not start.
- Calibration: (a C is shown to the right of the status box ): It refers to a
calibration point measurement which will be entered in the calibration graph
indicated in the calibration file reported in the link page under Calibration
column.
It is also necessary to insert the amount of the sample, the Hg concentration
under column ug/Kg and choose the analysis method you want to use.
- Reference: (a R is shown to the right of the status box): It refers to the
reference measurement sample to check the correction factor of the curve.
- Blind value: (a B is shown to the right of the status box): It refers to an
instrument blank since no positions of the plate are considered. The steps can
be set in Settings page of the software (Settings/Blind values).
For automatic blank value measurements, use the method BV-Method.
In case no BV-Method is saved, the method saved in the setup under
setting/blank values will be used. If a file under the name BV-Method is stored,
this is marked by a blue flag and remains always in the method selection. The
administrator can therefore adapt the cleaning and blank value method
according to his need.
The “BV-Method” can be edited by the user and the default parameters can be
modified and overwritten.
This is also performed with automatic blank value measurements, when the
weight in the sample table is “0.0000”. The sample boat is not introduced in this
case..
If the sample is defined as blank value B in the status menu, the “BV-Method” is
automatically recalled under the methods.
