perform, such as, scan blank, scan sample, and edit test sequences. The keypad
is used to make menu selections which are viewed in the display. There are
three selections accessible from the MAIN MENU: Testing Menu, Editing
Menu

and PC Link.

for the SMART2 Colorimeter.

Position the COD adapter in the SMART2 chamber so that the grooves in the
adapter are aligned with the ridges located at the rear of the chamber. The
adapter should be inserted with the small hole, containing the ball plunger, at
the top. The ball plunger can be adjusted with a small screwdriver to control
the tightness of the fit of the tube in the adapter.
