The following two states are possible for the atomic absorption
spectrophotometer program.
 Online status: Measurement can be performed through
control of the spectrophotometer main unit.
 Offline status: Data processing can be executed on the PC
side alone without controlling the
spectrophotometer main unit (status in which
online mode is inactive).
The instrument must be set to online mode for conducting
measurement. There are two methods for selecting online
status at startup of the instrument. Refer to section "5.10
Setting Automatic Start" for details.
Described next are two procedures at startup of the instrument.
The Method window in Fig. 2-3 appears, and online processing
starts automatically (process in which communication with the
spectrophotometer main unit begins and measurement enable
status is assumed).
The progress of the initialization can be checked via the status of
the online time bar (Fig. 2-4).
