Instrument Operation 5-11
Title Bar
The title bar contains the date, time, correction toggle icons, data logging
toggle icon, error message icon (if errors are present) and neutralizer icon
(if installed). It displays the title of each screen. When on the SMPS
screen, the title bar displays the instrument status:
Idle indicates that the instrument is powered on and ready to take
measurements.
Running indicates that the instrument is currently taking
measurements. The setup options cannot be changed when the
instrument is in Running mode. All buttons, except the stop button, are
disabled.
Waiting indicates that the instrument is either waiting for the pre-set
start time or for repeating scans.
Properties Shortcut Button
The Properties button on the main screen takes you directly to the
Properties screen where you can set up scan properties. Whichever tab
you last used on the Properties screen is now the active tab.
Specifying Graph Options
The graph displays a size distribution of a completed sample or an in-
progress sample. Vertical light-blue lines indicate the size range of the
scan. By clicking on either the x-axis or the y-axis, view options can be set.
Completed sample data can be manipulated using these options to view
the graph with different units, weightings, resolution, and scaling. The
multiple charge correction and diffusion correction can also be applied to
completed data.
Notes:
The graph will be cleared from the screen if changes are made to scan
properties.
Size distributions and statistics of previous samples and aborted
samples are not viewable on the classifier. To further analyze previous
data, you can export .TIM files from the classifier and import into
Aerosol Instrument Manager software.
