6.2. SAMPLE MODE
This is the analyzer’s standard operating mode. In this mode, the instrument is analyzing SO
2
and
calculating
concentrations.
6.2.1. TEST FUNCTIONS
A series of test functions is available at the front panel while the analyzer is in SAMPLE mode. These
parameters provide information about the present operating status of the instrument and are useful during
troubleshooting (refer to Section 12.1.2). They can also be recorded in one of the iDAS cha
n
nels (refer to
Section 7.2) for data analysis. To view the test functions, press on
e of the <TST TST> keys repeatedly in either
direction.
