Page 11: Method Setup - Acquisition
Method Setup - Acquisition tab serves for setting the common parameters of the Shodex RI-101 detector. If more than one detector is available, it is possible to select between them by using the Select Detector combobox on the top of the dialog. - Page 12 Setting this parameter to other value than Sampling Period means that the detector will filter the data and only send averaged values to Clarity. Temperature [°C] Defines the working temperature of the Shodex RI-101 detector. Equilibration Temperature Tolerance [°C] Serves for the setting of the target temperature tolerance. When the temperature reaches the desired value with the tolerance set here, the detector gets to the READY state.
