To set or change slope:
§ Press the 4 key from the Program Menu to display the
Slope screen� The current initial weight percentage is
shown�
§ Use the numeric keys type in the desired %IW, then
press the Enter key�
§ Note that there are some advanced options indicated by
Time and Calc on the soft keys� To change these fea-
tures, see “Window of Time” or “Calculation Endpoint�”
§ When all the parameters for Slope have been changed,
press the Enter again or the Arrow key to return to the
Program menu�
Window of Time
To set or change window of time:
§ Press the Time soft key to display the Window of time
screen�
§ Use the numeric keys to type in the desired window
of time, then press the Enter key� The display will
return to the Slope screen�
Endpoint Calculation
There are three additional advanced slope settings
called Calc 1, Calc 2 and Calc 3, which are algorithms
that calculate the endpoint prior to achieving the actual
slope� These will provide more rapid results on some
samples; however, the success of the Calc mode varies
from case to case�
To set or change Calc endpoint:
§ Press the Calc soft key to display the Calc menu�
§ Press a number key to select the desired calculation set-
ting� The display will return to the Slope screen�
§ If developing a method, check the correlation of each
Calc mode starting with Calc 1 to the actual endpoint
result�
