How to Analyze
General Analysis
Verify that the date is set properly for data tracking purposes.
From the Main Menu, select the System icon, then the Specs icon. The date will be displayed
for verification. If the date is incorrect, correct it prior to proceeding. This can be done by
"Closing" out of the Specs screen and selecting the Date & Time icon. Detailed information
on this procedure is available in Setting the Date and Time.
(Optional) Connect the analyzer to a computer via the included serial cable, USB cable, or
Bluetooth™ wireless module. (Consult "Using Your Analyzer With Your PC" on page 109for
details, if necessary.)
During analysis and detector calibrations, it is important to ensure that the analyzer is not
exposed to strong electromagnetic fields, including those produced by computer monitors,
hard drives, cellular telephones, walkie talkies, etc. Keep a minimum two (2) feet (0.7 meters)
distance between the analyzer and electronic devices.
From the Main Menu, select System Check icon then the Yes button. (Figure 1.)
System Check calibrates the detector and verifies it is operating to specifications. After starting
the process, no further user interaction is required during this operation. When the
instrument is finished performing the check, the unit will show either "System OK" or one of
the failure errors.
If the unit shows a failure error, then perform a second System Check by clicking Recheck. If
the unit still does not show a "System OK," please contact Thermo Scientific Niton Analyzers
toll-free in the USA at (800) 875-1578, +1 978 670-7460, niton@thermofisher.com, or
contact your local Niton Analyzers representative for assistance.
