The “Start” command starts the measurements of the analyser. The command 
can either be triggered directly by pressing the “Start” button or by a

page 97). In this case, the command will only be executed when the 
specified time is reached.

The command “Standby” stops the current action of the device. The com-
mand can either be triggered directly by pressing the “Standby” button or by

The command “Calibrate” triggers a calibration. There are different options to 
start a calibration:
 — By clicking on the “Calibrate” button

between, see Chapter “8.3.7.1 Parameters”, page 90)
 — By a corresponding entry in the event list (see Chapter “8.3.8.1 Events”, 
page 97). In this case the command will be proceeded when the 
respective time is reached.
