9. Verify the following Test Level parameters have been correctly assigned:
Test Mode:
Exam Minutes:
Individual Zero Mode:
10. After the film has been mounted and test parameters correctly assigned, start testing the
reference sample.
11. Monitor the progress of the test using the "Cell Status" and "Instrument Status" screens. When
the reference sample has reached equilibrium, advance the cell to the "Test Complete" state.
The sample is usually considered to be at equilibrium when there is no discernable trend in the
data.
NOTE: Do not advance the test to the Test Complete state unless the certified film is at equilibrium.
12. Adjust the output of the Permeant Sensor using the "WVTR Calibration" screen. Refer to the
Instrument Help System for more information on performing a Calibration.
NOTE: Calibration films should be stored in a manner that will keep them clean and free from
wrinkles. MOCON Certified NIST Films should be stored in the provided case. You will need
to use these films again whenever a module needs re-calibration.
