Code Meaning
Started The TGA is still setting
up to start the experiment
(see Set Up above), but
the initial weight has been
measured and data collec-
tion has begun. The
thermal method will start
when the normal setup
process has been com-
pleted.
Tare The TGA is measuring
the weight difference
between an empty sample
pan and the tare pan. The
measured weight is used
as an offset so that the
displayed weight value
indicates the weight of the
sample only.
Temp °C The heater is in stand-by
mode, and the experiment
has been terminated.
Temp* Temperature calibration is
in effect. The heater is in
stand-by mode, and the
experiment has been
terminated.

sample from the balance.

stable.
