Starting the Analysis
– After closing the hood:
If the initial weight condition is met, the analyzer prompts you to close the
hood. The start weight is applied as soon as the sample chamber is closed and
the measured value is stable.
End of Analysis

The analysis ends as soon as the weight loss per 24 s is below an automatically
detected threshold.

The analysis ends as soon as the weight loss per the set interval is lower than
a user-defined threshold (set in milligrams).
The weight loss is entered by the user.
– Semi-automatic, percentage

defined threshold (set in percent).
The percentage is entered by the user.
