Specifying Sample File Defaults

You can specify sample defaults in the Basic or Advanced format. The defaults you specify are
the ones you see when you create a new sample file. Therefore, it is best to specify (or enter)
parameters that you plan to use most frequently. For example; specify defaults for your most
commonly analyzed sample material. You can always edit parameters when you create a file. The
DVVA II 4000 application automatically generates sample information file names and uses the
values you specify as the defaults.

Advanced Format

The Advanced Sample Defaults dialog consists of tabs for each parameter. Click the tab to move
from one set of parameters to another. The values you specify in the parameter portions (Analy-
sis Conditions and Report Options) of the sample file are saved as the defaults for newly created
parameter files.
For example, after specifying defaults for a sample file in the Advanced format:
• Select File > Open > Sample Information, then
you specify display for all parameters.
• Select File > Open > Analysis Conditions, name and create the file, and the defaults you
specify in the Analysis Conditions portion of the Advanced Sample Defaults dialog
display in the fields.
Refer to Advanced, page
for sample information files in the Advanced format.
