Cycle Frequency
Many users prefer to obtain a TOC measurement of each stream every hour, every two hours, and so on. The
Cycle Frequency setting makes it easy to make these periodic measurements.
To set the Cycle Frequency, the Continuous setting must be Off. In the example shown in Figure 25, the Cycle
Frequency is set to one (1) hour. Only one Stream is enabled, so measurement of that stream starts every hour.
In the example shown in the following figure, Figure 25: Operation with Five Streams and the Check Standard,
five Streams are enabled. The Cycle Frequency is set to two (2) hours, so measurement of the enabled Streams
starts every two hours.

Calculated Run Time
It is important to know the Run Time of the selected measurements. The Run Time is the time required to
measure all of the enabled streams and the check standard. Run Time is a function of:
•
The number of streams that will be measured
•
Whether or not the check standard is measured
•
The number of repetitions that are selected for each stream and the check standard
•
The number of Dilution Water and Sample Flushes selected
•
The type of measurement selected (NPOC, TOC, and so on)
•
Whether or not AutoRange is selected
