The data is entered into the software with a fluid class name i.e. water, methanol,
acetonitrile, DMSO, etc. The fluid class name is not case sensitive. It may be entered
in upper or lower case letters. The date of the calibration is also entered.
The Quadra 4
®
programs are created using the fluid class name i.e. water. Any time in
the future this program is called, it will use that fluid class calibration. The actual data
will be the default value of the last data entry for that fluid class i.e. water (6-16-06).
Other fluid classes, or other dated curves, may be selected at the time the program is
executed. The default value will be the last value entered for that fluid class, unless
another selection is made at the time of running the program.
