Blanking Measurements

STOP
2016-04
The software allows a so-called 'Blanking' measurement. 'Blanking' in the
Instrument menu is only available when a measurement script containing a
cuvette measurement is open. When Blanking is selected in the Instrument
menu, an absorbance measurement with the cuvette port is activated according
to the parameters (wavelength, flash number, settle time) of the active script. The
user is requested to insert the blank cuvette (e.g. containing buffer solution) and
to start the measurement. The blank data are then written into an Excel
spreadsheet. The data are also stored in the software and can be applied to the
following cuvette measurements performed with the same parameters. The blank
data are automatically subtracted when the check box Apply Blanking is
selected on the 'Absorbance' or 'Absorbance Scan' strip.
The blank data are stored in the software as long as no other blanking
measurement is performed or the software is closed. Be aware that the stored
blanking data will be overwritten without a warning message if another blanking
measurement is started. The stored blanking data will also be deleted without a
warning message when closing the software.
BLANKING DATA WILL BE OVERWRITTEN WITHOUT A WARNING
MESSAGE WHEN STARTING ANOTHER BLANKING MEASUREMENT.
BLANKING DATA WILL BE DELETED WITHOUT A WARNING
