After use the system writes the configuration to disc and on subsequent use will
automatically configure the Mastersizer to this last used mode. Recall also
includes last data, results, programmes, key functions, etc.
Easy mode
Measurements made using buttons to select from a limited range of operations.
These allow safe step by step operations to perform the measurement. User
intervention is minimised.
Guidance and help are given using; menus, advice and error messages during
execution.
Menu mode
The system is operated by a selection of menu and sub-menu choices which may
be made using the mouse or from the keyboard. Many sub-menu items which are
frequently used may be selected by single key (accelerator) operations.
Programme Mode
Measurements are made using a command language (Sizer BASIC). These
programmes may be stored and recalled from disc, automatically or manually run
and allow fully automatic operations with little or no user interaction.
Help features
There is an extensive on-line help system available.
Malvern is engaged in a continuing programme of development, both in
measurement capabilities and software features. Thus, during the lifetime of a
product a number of software versions will exist, in general increasing in
capability as they become more current. In general users of older versions will be
able to purchase updates to these later versions if they are significant. Seek advice
regarding costs from your local representative.
