If the kinetic will last longer than one day, a
warning is displayed (Fig. 317). Click Ok to
continue.
Define the following variables:
Time delay between consecutive data points = pi
(given start value = p0)
Start time of the measurement: pt,i
Number of data points: n
Data point counts = i (note: i starts with 0; so for
the first data point i = 0; or general i = n-1)
Summand/Factor = f
In const (constant) the period between two successive data points is constant and will be exactly the time
selected in the Point to Point time selection box.
With the definition of variables for const: p
In linear the period between two successive data points as specified in the Point to Point time selection
box is increased linearly by a summand of which the initial value is defined in the Summand selection
box.
With the definitions of variables: p
In exp the period between two successive measuring cycles as specified in the Point to Point time
selection box is increased by an exponential factor of which the initial base is defined in the Factor
selection box. Note, that the first measurement is therefore assigned a 0 for the exponent.
With the definitions of variables: p
Procedure to set up a kinetic
• Enter the time spacing you want to start with in the Point to Point time input box of your kinetics
measurement.
• Enter the number of data points in the Number box. Remember that the first data point is counted as
"0".
• In the Shape selection box, set one of the shape options const, linear or exp.
• Enter a number in the Summand or Factor selection box.
• The Use Kinetics check box has to be ticked.
The system will display in the Calculated Duration box the total time of the experiment taken into
account measurement times, kinetic data points and the time the system needs for mechanical switches.
The start of the single data points can be retrieved from the Save Info panel.
The duration of the kinetic measurement will be displayed in the Calculated Duration display box
and in the Time selection area.
