Reporting Instructions
Report Option Section
The 6200 Calorimeter can transmit its stored test
data in either of two ways. The REPORT DESTINA-
TION key on the Reporting Controls Page toggles
the report destination between the display and
an optional printer connected to the USB port of
the calorimeter. This page also selects the type of
reports that are generated automatically by the
calorimeter.
Reports can also be downloaded to a PC via the
Ethernet port or copied using an SD memory card.
Report Generation
There are two kinds of calorimeter reports: Prelimi-
nary and Final.
Preliminary Reports are generated at the conclusion
of a test. They will not contain the thermochemical
corrections for sulfur, fuse, or acid. They are in-
tended to confirm to the operator that the results of
the test fell within the expected range.
Final reports are generated once all of the thermo-
chemical corrections have been entered into the file.
If fixed corrections are used for all of the thermo-
chemical corrections a preliminary report will not be
generated.
Thermochemical corrections are entered by using
the following steps to select and edit preliminary
reports.
Test results are stored as files using the sample
ID number as the file name. A listing of the stored
results is accessed by pressing the REPORT com-
mand key. The REPORT command key brings up a
sub-menu on which the operator specifies.
Select From List: This key displays the stored
results specified with the following two keys:
Run Data Type: This key enables the operator to
display only determination runs, only standardiza-
tion runs and all runs. (The choice of solution data
type is not applicable to this calorimeter.)
Run Data Status: This key enables the operator to
display only preliminary reports, only final reports,
both preliminary and final reports, only pre weighed
sample reports or all stored reports.
Prompt For Final Values: When turned on, the con-
troller will prompt the operator to enter any missing
corrections for fuse, sulfur and acid in any selected
preliminary reports. When turned off preliminary
reports will be displayed as entered.
The displayed files can be sorted by sample ID
number, by type, by status or by date of test by
simply touching the appropriate column.
Individual files can be chosen by highlighting them
using the up and down arrow keys to move the
cursor. Press the SELECT key to actually enter the
selection. Once selected the highlight will turn
from dark blue to light blue. A series of tests can be
selected by scrolling through the list and selecting
individual files.
The double up and down keys will jump the cursor
to the top or bottom of the current display.
If a range of tests is to be selected, select the first
test in the series, scroll the selection bar to the last
test in the series and press EXTEND SEL to select
the series.
The DESEL ALL key is used to cancel the current
selection of files.
To bring the selected report or series of reports
to the display, press the DISPLAY key. To send the
reports to the printer press the PRINT key.
The EDIT key brings up a sub-menu which enables
the operator to edit any of the data in the report or
add thermochemical corrections to convert prelimi-
nary reports to final reports. Final reports can only
be edited if EDIT FINAL reports on the reporting
control page is turned on.
Net Heat of Combustion
To have the Net Heat of Combustion print as part
of preliminary and final reports, go to the Net Heat/
Dry Factors on the Thermochemical Corrections
Page and turn ON Calculate Net Heat of Combus-
tion. During the reporting process, the controller will
prompt for the hydrogen (H) value.
