Reports may be obtained by pressing the REPORT key. To obtain a block of reports
between two specified sample numbers, press the REPORT key. Enter the first sample
number to the display, and press the ENTER key. The system will then prompt for the
last sample ID, if only one report is desired enter the same sample ID, followed by the
ENTER key. If a block of reports is desired enter the last sample in the block followed by
the ENTER key. During the reporting process, the printed reports will indicate whether
the reports are final or preliminary. The preliminary reports will require corrections to be
entered.
Preliminary reports will remain preliminary and the energy equivalent or heat of
combustion value, which is reported will reflect the fixed constants as set by the operator.
The printing of large numbers of reports may be avoided at any time using the RESET
key. The reset action will take effect after the current report has been completely
transmitted.

G. Displayed Reports
Reports may also be obtained through the display on the 1356 Calorimeter. The
procedure for obtaining reports on the display is the same as for obtaining printed reports.
The calorimeter will hold data for 500 tests within its memory. These tests may be either
preliminary, final, determination or calibration reports. Once the memory of the
calorimeter is filled, any attempt to start a new analysis will cause the calorimeter to
display MEMORY FULL, to avoid this error message go to Menu page 7 and line 6.
Change the Overwrite from OFF to On, then the oldest test will be deleted and replaced
by the most recent test. The alternative is to clear memory of tests.

H. Clearing Memory
This capability allows the user to delete Sample ID numbers and all related data and
results for a single report, a sequence of reports or for all reports.
To clear a single report, press the CLEAR MEM key. The calorimeter will prompt for the
first sample number in the block and then prompt for the last sample number in the block,
then press the ENTER key. To clear all reports, use the sequence procedure with 1 as the
first sample number and 999999 as the last number of the sequence.

I. Editing Memory
The user is able to add data and information to the previously gathered information for a
test by using the Memory Editing procedures described in the manual on page 8-1.
Press the F3 key. The calorimeter will then prompt for the first sample number, which is
keyed in and press the Enter key. The calorimeter will then prompt for the last sample
number in the block, enter the ID and press the Enter key. If one wishes to edit one
sample, then enter the same number for the first and last sample ID. Highlight the data
field to be edited by pressing the Up or Down Arrow key
