Helium Background Timer - Agilent Technologies G8610A Operation Manual

The data entry pad appears.
3. Enter the leak value and press OK.
For calibration in the E-10 range, the vacuum system must be sufficiently pumped to reduce
helium background below the E-10 range signal level. This is required to achieve an
acceptable signal-to-noise level and ensure accurate calibration.
E-10 range calibration is performed using an external calibrated leak. If an external
calibration is selected soon after system startup, the system evaluates the helium
background and determines if the background signal is sufficiently low to give an accurate
calibration. If the:
❑
System has pumped out sufficiently, the calibration proceeds.
❑
Background is changing, indicating the system is still pumping away background
helium, a countdown timer appears (Figure 4-3). The system monitors the helium
background and shows the time until the calibration begins. Should you prefer not
to wait, a Cancel button permits the calibration request to be canceled.

The firmware initially starts at a large time interval, but
NOTE
recalculates the required time as the pumping continues. The
new time is reflected on the timer.
The new Applications Setup Menu (Test Confutations Menu)
helps guides you through the process - Select High Sensitivity.
