testo NanoMet Operation

The testo NanoMet user shell consists of the testo NanoMet main window, the testo NanoMet
control panel, and the CPC control window.
The testo NanoMet main window contains five tabs to set measurement parameters, to select
operation mode and system state, to display the measured values and to do the data saving
settings.
6.1.

Main Measurement Tab

The 'Measurement' tab shown in Fig. 6.1 includes the software control menu which was already
described in chapter 5.3.1. It also displays the measured values, contains a chart where the
selected values are plotted, and an error bar at the bottom of the window, where auto-detected
errors are displayed.
Fig. 6.1: measurement tab
For every plotted signal it can be selected if the left or right y-axis should be used. In the chart
settings area, minimum and maximum values of these axes can be set. This is done
automatically if 'y auto scale' is selected. The set minimum and maximum values are useless
then. The 'x scale interval' determines how many seconds should be plotted in the chart. Default
value is 60 seconds, maximum is 1200 seconds = 2 hours.
The system state buttons in the software control menu are active when the system is operated in
the software control mode, as it is shown in Fig. 6.2. The system state is selected using these
buttons. The actual system state is marked by the red button.
6.1.1.

Pause State

PAUSE state means that all pumps and heatings of testo MD19-3E and testo ASET15-1 are
switched off.
6.1.2.

Standby State

STANDBY state means the system is ready for measurements. Pumps for sample gas and
dilution air are switched on as well as the heaters of primary dilution head and the evaporation
tube. Only the diluter disk is not rotating and therewith the dilution air passes the diluter without
being added by any amount or raw gas.
