Program Installation & Control
Programming
The program in the 6400 Calorimeter can be extensive-
ly modified to tailor the unit to a wide variety of operat-
ing conditions, reporting units, laboratory techniques,
available accessories and communication modes. In
addition, the calculations, thermochemical corrections
and reporting modes can be modified to conform to
a number of standard test methods and procedures.
Numerous provisions are included to permit the use of
other reagent concentrations, techniques, combustion
aids and short cuts appropriate for the user’s work.
Note: Changes to the program are made by use of
the menu structure described in Chapter 5 of this
manual. Any of these items can be individually en-
tered at any time to revise the operating program.
Default Settings
Units are pre programmed with default settings. A
more in-depth explanation of these parameters is
found on the corresponding parameter group help
pages within the software. These default settings
remain in effect until changed by the user. Should the
user ever wish to return to the factory default set-
tings, go to the PROGRAM INFORMATION & CON-
TROL menu, USER/FACTORY SETTINGS, RELOAD
FACTORY DEFAULT SETTINGS and confirm YES.
User Default Settings
The user parameters of the 6400 Calorimeter can
be saved to guarantee that the desired calorimeter
configurationcan always be recalled before beginning
a series of tests. Users who wish to permanently save
their default settings may do so using the following
procedure:
1. Establish the operating parameters to be stored
as the user default settings.
2. Go to the PROGRAM INFO & CONTROL menu,
USER/ FACTORY SETTINGS, USER SETUP ID, and
enter the desired User Setup ID.
3. Select SAVE USER DEFAULT SETTINGS
To re-load the user default setting, go to the PROGRAM
INFO & CONTROL menu, USER/FACTORY SETTINGS,
RELOAD USER DEFAULT SETTINGS, and confirm YES.
Non-volatile memory is provided to retain any and all
operator initiated program changes; even if power is
interrupted or the unit is turned off.
