5. By default, the window will not update on its own. Perform a single scan by clicking
(for instance, after inserting each cuvette of unknown concentration). Click
if you want the values to update as quickly as possible.
Note the following on this window:
 The name of the compound and the units you provided are shown.
 The numeric value for the concentration appears in black if the calculation was within the
bounds of the measurement setup. If you calculated the concentration using the Beer-
Lambert law, the concentration appears in black for any positive measured absorbance. If
you calculated the concentration using known samples, the concentration will appear in
black only if the measured absorbance is within the range of absorbance sampled by the
user. If a sample is introduced that falls outside of this range, the concentration will
appear in
red to indicate that it is out-of-bounds and may not be accurate, as shown in the
following example:
