Setting Up and Starting a Film Test
After the samples are loaded and the instrument is ready there are a number of test parameters that must
be set. There are two types of test parameters, cell parameters and instrument parameters. Cell
Parameters are specific to each cell (Sample ID, Sample Thickness). Instrument parameters are common
for all cells (Cell Temperature). The "Test" icon is used to access the screens and controls required to set
up the test conditions and start a test.
There are two methods that can be used to setup a permeation test. A test can be setup using the
"Advanced Test" screen or a "Saved Test Method" can be recalled.
An "Advanced Test" method allows the operator total control of all test parameters. An Advanced Test
method is setup and started by selecting the Test icon and "paging" to the "Advanced Test" screen using
the "arrow" control located at the right edge of the screen. The "Cell", Instrument" and "Test" screens are
used to specify the entire set of test conditions prior to starting a test on the desired Test Cell. The entire
sets of parameters (called the Test Method) can be saved, recalled or exported using the "Method" and
"Save Method" controls.
For more information on setting up and starting a test see the Instrument Help system.
