NORMAL MEASUREMENT
This type of measurement is best suited for regular readings, when the sample is stable and normal
accuracy is required. In normal mode, the measurement takes about 10 seconds and the lamp is ON
for a minimum period of time (about 7 seconds).
CONTINUOUS MEASUREMENT
This measurement mode is suitable when many measurements have to be taken in a short period of
time. The mode is useful to evaluate a very fast settling sample. This measurement mode is
recommended for indexing cuvettes.
• Press the
Read key and keep it pressed to take continuous readings.
The display will show “
READ” in the left side and blinking dashes. The dashes and lamp icon will
appear during different measurement phases. The first value is displayed after 10 seconds and then
a new reading is displayed each second as long as the
Read key is kept pressed. When a new value
is displayed, the measurement value will briefly blink.
The last value remains on the display after the
Read key is released.
AVERAGED MEASUREMENT
This measurement mode is useful when samples that cause unstable readings are analyzed. By
averaging several readings, noise effect is reduced and accurate measurements can be taken.
This mode can also be selected when high accuracy measurements are needed. In the average mode
10 measurements are averaged in a short period of time (about 20 seconds).
To use the averaged reading mode first enter setup and enable the Average reading mode. The “
AVG”
text will be displayed in the left side of the screen.
