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 and Test Gas RH). 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.
The "Advanced Test" screen allows the operator total control of all test parameters. An Advanced Test is
setup and started by selecting the Test icon to display the "Advanced Test" 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 set of parameters (called the Test Method) can be saved, recalled or exported using
the "Method" and "Save Method" controls.
