Sample Volume Total volume of sample
Scan Speed nm/min for a scan
Setup Correction Initiates the procedure to collect the data necessary to correct for cuvette
variances
Slope ∆Abs/∆Concentration
SRE Tolerance ±Stray radiant energy acceptable
Standard Concentrations Concentration of standards used to generate standard curve for the test
Standby Time since last keystroke or instrument activity; powers down unit to
minimum energy required to keep lamp in warm-up status
Statistics Turns statistics function on or off; if ON, calculates average and
Std Dev of results;Statistics registers are cleared when Statistics = OFF&/or
when instrument is OFF &/or when test parameters are changed &/or
when test is saved (or resaved)
Stop Wavelength Ending wavelength for a scan
Test Name Defined by user to identify stored tests
Tm value Calculated melting temperature
Total Run Time Time from Run Initiation to end of test = Delay Time + Interval Times +
Measurement Times
Units Labels concentration results
Wavelength values Values for the analytical wavelengths
