4.3.1 Temporary Settings
Open the folder Matrices in the NIR-Explorer. Right clicking the mouse on the appropriate matrix name
opens a pop-up menu. Clicking on Rename enables the user to change the name of the matrix.
4.3.2 Permanent Settings
In order to change the names permanently it is necessary to perform the changes in the registry
settings.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Buchi\NIRCAL\Terminology
When performing the changes (including All Factors, etc.) the name convention will be changed
permanently and will be used for the NIR-Explorer, tables and graphics.
4.4 Characteristic absorbance table
This absorbance table is published for food. It can be used also for chemicals. Because the matrix is
different the absorptions can be slightly different.
