Before you begin a measurement you will have to tell the computer about the
physical features that you have just set up, i.e. which lens and sample accessory
you are using. These details are entered by filling in the Setup Hardware
dialogue.
This only needs to be done once and will only have to change if you change a lens
or an accessory. The computer will remember the setup if you save the
configuration. You will be automatically asked if you wish to save the
configuration when you exit the software.
To setup the hardware:
. Select Hardware from the Setup menu. The dialogue below will appear.
. Change the range lens setting by clicking on the arrow À and selecting
"300RF" for the Mastersizer S or "45mm" for the Mastersizer X.
. Change the sample unit by clicking the arrow Á and selecting "Auto Sam-
ple Dispersion Unit". If you do not have a Automated Sample Dispersion
Unit then select the option for the accessory you do have.
. Select OK.
Remember to save the configuration when prompted to do so when exiting the
software!
