Fixed Time
Fixed Time mode allows the user to set a maximum time the instrument will take a reading with the trigger
depressed. Once the instrument reaches this set time, it will stop acquiring data, close the safety shutter,
and display a result. The value of time that can be entered is in real time seconds, up to a maximum of
300 seconds (5 minutes). This mode is often employed when users are following a strict standard
operating procedure (SOP) that prescribes the length of each reading that must be taken on a given
project.
To setup this mode, start at the main menu. Select Setup>Mode>Fixed Time. Enter the desired time limit
in seconds (Fig. 144 to 146), then select the Back button (Fig. 147).
