Menu Operating Instructions
When the START key is pressed, the calorimeter will
prompt the user for the Sample ID, sample weight,
Bomb ID and spike weight as programmed by the
user in the Operating Controls and Data Entry Con-
trol menu screens.
The settings and controls are organized into ten
main sections or pages which comprise the Main
Menu. This appendix describes all pages of the
menu-based operating system of the 6100 Calorim-
eter.
Note: Keys which make global changes to
the setup of the calorimeter contain a YES or
NO response to make certain that the user
wishes to proceed. This two step entry is
intended to prevent inadvertent global pro-
gram changes.
Calorimeter Operation Menu
The calorimeter will normally be operated from
the Calorimeter Operating Page, although tests can
always be started from any menu page.
Operating Mode: Sets the operating mode by tog-
gling between standardization and determination.
Bomb/EE: Used to identify the bomb presently
installed in the calorimeter and its EE value.
Start Preweigh: This key is used to start the sample
preweigh process. The user is presented with or
prompted for a sample ID. Next, the user is asked to
key in the associated sample mass or alternatively
the mass is retrieved from a connected balance.

system used to fill the bomb. Pressing this same key
while the bomb is filling will abort the process.
