Method 21 Mode
This section describes Method 21 setup if the user chooses to perform Method 21 readings
without a PDA.
The Method 21 user mode displays the current detected concentration. The reading is updated
once a second. The MicroFID II can also store the maximum background and maximum
component concentrations for a selected component. At the end of every interval, one entry is
placed in the log.
To enter the Method 21 logging mode, the MicroFID II Setup menu must be entered. After
entering the 4 digit pass code, scroll down to the User Mode entry and press the select mode on
the display. Then, scroll down to Meth 21 log mode and press the select mode on the display.
Hit the back soft key to return to the main menu and press the "meas" soft key to start taking
measurements in the Method 21 logging format.

The first Method 21 screen is shown in Figure 22. The purpose of this step is to take a
BACKGROUND reading. When the user is ready to begin measuring a BACKGROUND value
simply press the ‘start’ soft key. The screen will change to that shown in Figure 23.
