Control and Data System
- User Interface: Complete control of the AAnalyst™ through an innovative touch-screen interface. Flexible software for lamp setup, flame control, parameter selection and sample analysis. The tools menu provides access to recommended conditions, sample information, method storage and recall, data transfer and service diagnostics screens.
- Display: Full-color 10.4” LCD touch screen. VGA resolution (640 x 480 pixels). Coated for maximum durability and lifetime.
- Data Handling: The parameters page is used for setting up the analysis. Users can select up to eight calibration standards or a reslope standard and choose from seven different calibration algorithms. Integration times are operator-selectable from 0.1 to 60 sec. Print choices include method, replicates and calibration curve. Signal measurement modes include time-averaged integration, manual continuous graphics and peak-height measurement. An optional footswitch to trigger a read is also available.
- Sample Analysis: The sample-analysis page is used for manual or automated analysis. All results are displayed on the screen. Separate buttons for blank, standards and samples allow for easy analysis. Sample ID and dilution factor are available on this page as entered in the tools/sample information menus. The calibration curve can be displayed and printed with correlation coefficient, slope and intercept. Peaks can be displayed and printed when using the MHS-15 accessory.
- Accessories: Automated analysis can be performed with a PerkinElmer® autosampler and the sample information tool. The MHS-15 can be used for the determination of hydride-forming elements and mercury.
