Editing the Setup Parameters

Editing the Setup Parameters
The set-up function enables you to enter parameters to be used for analysis,
calibration, reporting, and data transmission. There are five sets of parameters:
The pycnometer is shipped with default values entered for analysis parame-
ters; it is not necessary to edit these values in order to perform an analysis.
However, you may modify an analysis to meet your own particular needs by
changing the parameters, which include number of purges and runs (0 to 99),
fill pressures (0 to 19.850 psig), and equilibration rate (0.0001 to 9.0000
psig/min).
Default values are also entered for calibration parameters. These may be ed-
ited in the same manner as analysis parameters. The only difference is that
for calibration the maximum number of purges and runs that will be per-
formed by the system is ten.
Report options specify the report mode (density or volume for analysis) and
the report destination.
Calibration volumes specify the sample volume and the expansion volume to
be used for calibration.
Data transmission specifies transmission parameters such as baud rate, parity,
etc.
Unit types specify either pounds-per-square-inch gauge (psig) or kilopascals
gauge (kPag) to be used as the pressure measurement unit type. It also speci-
fies the language to be used.
The parameters you enter are stored and used to control the pycnometer until
new parameters are entered. Instructions follow for each set of parameters.
