In typical metals analysis applications, Main Range is used for the analysis of most elements.
You cannot deselect the Main Range in metals analysis.
Low Range is utilized for the subsequent high sensitivity analysis of V, Ti, and Cr.
Select the Element List Button - labeled with a question mark - to display the Element List for
that Range. This list shows the elements that the Range is best designed to detect.
Select the Range Time field for the intended range to change the switch time for that range.
The Range Time Editor will appear. This enables you to set the number of seconds each
enabled range is allotted before auto-switching will occur when needed during sample testing.
Your analyzer will auto-switch from one range to another when the testing time for that range
is greater than or equal to the time you have chosen, and the identified alloy is flagged as
needing the switch in the Niton Alloy Library.
Select the C button to clear the current time, then from the virtual numeric key pad, select
each digit you want to input, then select the E button to enter.
Figure 12. Setting the Date and Time
From the System Menu, select the Date & Time icon from the System Screen to set the date
and time as needed for different time zones, daylight savings time, or any other reason. The
date and time are factory preset prior to shipping. The clock is a 24 hour clock, so add 12 to
PM hours - i.e. 1:13 PM would be 13:13.
