Jenway 6285 - Manual (Page 28)

Section 10
Timed readings
1. To ensure that all measurements are taken at the required interval, select the
required method as described in section 'Using a stored method' above,
then return to the main menu.
2. Enter the SETUP menu and select the RESULTS STORAGE section.
3. Moving down to the first parameter, TIMED READ, set this to On.
4. The interval between the end of one read and the beginning of the next read
can then be set, by selection of INTERVAL. Using the up and down arrow
keys, set the numerical figure to the required period, in seconds, between
readings.
5. The instrument can now be returned to the MEASURE mode.
6. Place the cuvette of sample in the sample chamber and close the lid.
7. To begin taking timed measurements, highlight READ and then press the
enter key. At this point the first measurement will be taken, indicated by the
status message "Reading…".
8. Once this first read is complete, a further message will be shown which
displays a countdown in seconds, to the next read. When this timer reaches
zero, the next reading will be taken.
9. It is especially important when interval times used are short; to use either the
AUTO SAVE
or AUTO PRINT in conjunction with timed readings. This
enables full automation of result collection without the user having to
manually record readings for the entire duration of the testing.
10. To cease the timer readings, move the highlight to EXIT and press the enter
key. This will return the instrument to the main menu.
NOTE:
AUTO SAVE, AUTO PRINT and TIMED READ are all related to the
selected method.
