View

The sample view looks like a familiar calculation sheet in a spreadsheet program.

Sample view input functions

In the sample view you define the sequence of your analysis samples. The sequence must match the

sequence in which you arrange your samples on the carousel. To enable the instrument to analyze

and evaluate a sample correctly, you must have entered the appropriate information in the sample

view columns:

Column

Explanation

Weight [mg] Sample weight in mg (if the instrument is not connected to a balance that

automatically transfers the sample weight to the computer).

Name Name of the sample; for samples used for routine measuring work you must

use the reserved names, see Defining standard substances as factor and

monitor samples (on page 122) and Defining standard substances as

calibration samples (on page 122).

Method Assignment of an analysis method. If you have entered values for peak

anticipation in the "Method" dialog, this overwrites the values for individual

samples that were defined in the "Device parameters" dialog for the series.

In the "Memo" column you can input any special features of the sample or the analysis procedure as

free text.

Color coding

Some table lines in the sample view are highlighted by a colored background or colored text. The

following table indicates the meaning of the various color codes:
