5.4 Method Programming Guidelines
5.4.1 Water Method Program
To aid you in programming, please review the following
example of a typical
Water
sample You may want to
start with these settings and if necessary, make
adjustments after running several standards and or
samples. In this example, Method “1” will be
programmed for
Water
, method “2” for
Soil
.
Note:
If a recirculating bath is installed for cooling the
sample vials, the Equilibrium Count and Time should be
used. Sections 5.5 and 6.4.5 describe the use and
programming of the Equilibrium station.

5.4.2 Soil Method Program
The following is an example of a typical soil method that
can aid building your method. You may start with these
settings then make adjustments as necessary after
running several standards and or samples. In this
example Method 2 will be programmed for
Soil
.
Note:
If a recirculating bath is installed for cooling the
sample vials, the Equilibrium Count and Time should be
used. Sections 5.4 and 6.7 describe the use and
programming of the Equilibrium station.
Note: There must be 10-15 mLs total volume of liquid in a
soil sample prior to purging.
