Online Control – Values (Fig. 23)
The tab Values allows to set the measuring characteristics as light
pulses intensities, measurement averaging and Multiple
measurement. Please remember that each set value needs to be
confirmed either by leaving the box or by pressing the ENTER key.
The intensities of Actinic, Super and Flash Pulse light can be set
in this window.
Averaging enables to measure specific consecutive protocols and
to calculate arithmetic mean of the measurements. The
measurement result is represented by one average value or
graph. The number of the measurement (Averag. Count) and the
delay between the individual measurements (Averag. delay)
need to be set. The averaging is not available for the QY
measurement. Please remember, that this function is not
suitable for the dark-adapted samples (excepting the Ft
measurement) as the sample is illuminated by the appropriate
light pulses during the first measurement.
Multiple measurement is automatically repeated measurement
of one specific protocol over a time period. The measurement
result is represented by the values or graphs obtained in the
specific data points. The Multi interval represents the time
between the beginnings of the single measurements and so, the
Multi interval should be longer than the duration of the selected
protocol. The number of Multi repeats from 1-1000 can be set in
this window. Finally, the type of Protocol selected for Multiple
measurements (Multi type) is also set in this window (see Fig.
23). Please note that the Multi measurements have to be started
from the device or by clicking on the Multi button in the
“Protocols” tab of the Online Control window (see Fig. 25).
Online Control – Time (Fig. 24)
The FluorPen time and date can be set in this window.
The time and date can be edited either manually by
setting and saving it or synchronized with the computer
automatically by ticking the box. The synchronization is
performed just at once (i.e., the option doesn’t
synchronize the time continuously). This is essential for
correct GPS data acquisition and therefore
recommended.
