Reporting Instructions
Report Option Section
The 6100 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.
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 final thermochem-
ical corrections for sulfur, fuse, or acid. They are
intended 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 opera-
tor to display only determination runs, only
standardization runs and all runs. (The choice
of solution data type is not applicable to this
calorimeter.)
Run Data Status: This key enables the opera-
tor to display only preliminary reports, only fi-
nal reports, both preliminary and final reports,
only pre weighed sample reports or all stored
reports.
Prompt For Final Values: When turned on, the
controller 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.
