Softkeys

Meaning

from

proc.

Recalculation using manually modified experimental data (

processed

).

The determination is reevaluated with the aid of the experimental data
modified by spike elimination and the modified method parameters.

from

eval.

New content and formula calculation using evaluation values of
substances (EV values).

from Op.

sequence

New content and formula calculation with modified method parame-
ters referring to sample quantity, dispensed volumes or concentra-
tions of solutions.

The following should be noted with regard to the different types of
recalculation:

A recalculation

from orig.

or

from proc.

must always be

initiated if method parameters have been modified which affect
the determination of the EV values (e.g.

Recognition

,

Baseline

,

Evaluation

).

A recalculation

from Op.sequence

must always be initiated when

the dilution calculation should be redone owing to modified
method parameters.

A recalculation

from eval.

is advisable if only certain EV values

have been suspended or formulae changed.

Storage of recalculated determinations

Recalculated determinations are not stored automatically. To store a

recalculated determination with its modified method, it must be copied

to the determination storage or to the data card.

Dilution recalculation with Dosimats/Dosinos

Before starting a recalculation from

Op.sequence

with modified pa-

rameters affecting the dispensing operations with 685 Dosimats/700

Dosinos make sure that the same Dosimats/Dosinos with the same

Exchange/Dosing units are attached to the 746 VA Trace Analyzer as in

the original determination, otherwise deviations in the result calculation

could arise.

Recalculation of determinations from older software versions

Because of a modified smoothing procedure the recalculation of

determinations from the 693 VA Processor with a program version

≤ 5.693.0021 may lead to peak evaluation values which differ by ≤ 5%.
