3. Hold down the SCROLL key, then press the
TARE key on the instrument keypad. The
TGA will perform the following tare func-
tions on each pan automatically:
· Load the pan
· Raise the furnace (to protect the pan from
air currents)
· Weigh the pan
· Store the weight as the offset for each
weight range
· Unload the pan.
The Auto TGA will automatically tare each of
the remaining pans in sequence. It should take
approximately 45 minutes to tare all 16 pans on
one sample platform. When the Auto TGA has
completed taring each pan on the sample plat-
form, the tare status message will disappear.
The advantage to using the Auto TGA is to save
time and effort; therefore, it would not be efficient
to perform manual tare operations on each
sample, as that would defeat the purpose of an
automatic operation. But, if manual taring is
desired, see Chapter 3 for the procedure.
