9.2. Predictive Diagnostics

The analyzer’s test functions can be used to predict failures by looking at trends in their

values. Initially it may be useful to compare the state of these test functions to the values
measured on your instrument at the factory and recorded on the M9110EH Final Test and

Validation Data Form attached to the manual). Table 9-2 can be
used as a basis for taking action as these values change with time. The internal data
acquisition system (iDAS) is a convenient way to record and track these changes. APICOM

control software can be used (Section 6.11.5 describes APICOM).
