4. PRINT

When The Instrument Initializes Its Set-Up, It Defaults To External Print. If You Want To Change It, You Must Get Into The Menu To Change The Set-Up. Once Properly Set-Up, The Current State Can Be Printed

Out. If It Is At A/T/C Or In Menu. THE NEXT TIME WHEN THE INSTRUMENT TURNS ON, IT WILL

STILL HAVE THE PREVIOUS TIME’S SET-UP. This Means That If The Last Time The Instrument Was

Set At PRINT, This Will Become The New Default Until It Is Changed.

Print Includes Internal Print And External Print. When It Is Set-Up To INT PRINT, You Can Set-Up The

Paper Feed And Allow To Print Items (Refer To “ Example” For How To Set-Up). If It Is Set-Up To Feed

Paper, Touch “PRINT” And The Printer Will Go Two Lines Without Printing (Refer To “Example”). If It

Is Set-Up To Allow Print, Touch “PRINT”, The Printer Will Print Out The Display And Current State

(Refer To “Example”). If It Is In A Menu Of BAUD SET-UP, To Print Current Baud Set-Up Is ON, And

Others Are OFF.

If It Is At A/T/C, Touch PRINT, It Prints Current Wavelength, Cuvette Position And A/T/C Value. If It Is At

C. It Prints Factor, Too. If You Want To Cancel The Current Set-Up Or Select Other Set-Up, You Must

Return To The Menu To Make The Set-Up Again.

5 And 6. ESC And Enter

ESC And ENTER Keys Correspond To Esc And (CHA, ACC) In The Menu. “CHA” Appeared At The

Lower Right Corner Means Whether To Want To Change, “ACC” Means Whether To Want To Accept,

“ESC” Means Whether To Want To Return.

When The Instrument Is In Menu, It Only Responds To Multi-Functional Keys FACTOR, ESC, ENTER And

PRINT Keys. If Any Other Key Is Touched, The Buzzer Will Send Out A Long Beeping Sound. When 2

Lines Are On The Display, The Cuvette Holder Will Not Move. A/T/C & Esc Should Be Touched To Clear

The Second Line. Then The Cuvette Can Be Moved. When It Is At A/T/C, ESC And ENTER Keys Are Close-

Up. If Touched, The Buzzer Will Send Out A Long Beeping Sound. When It Is At Master Menu, To Touch

ESC Key, It Skips Out Of The Menu Set-Up And Return To A/T/C. If It Is At Sub-Menu, To ESC Key, It

Returns To The Menu Of The Lower Level.

When It Is At Master Menu, The Lower Right Corner Of The Display Screen Will Show “CHA”. If The

Enter Key Is Touched, The Sub-Menu Set-Up Will Be Received.

Only At The Lowest Level Of The Master Menu. FACTOR”, will “ACC” Appear, Which Shows Whether

To Want To Select This Item. If ENTER Is Touched, That Means This Item Is Accepted, And At The Same

Time, It Returns To The Menu Of The Upper Level.

12

When It Is At FACTOR Of C Value And Initial Wavelength Set-Up Of The Menu, The Lower Right Corner

Of The Screen Will Appear “CHA”.

These Are Possible Options. If The ENTER Key Is Touched, It Can Change The Factor And The Initial

Wavelength. When Changing the Wavelength. Push The Wavelength Button A Few Times.

When the Option Of making a change Is Reached, ENTER Must Be touched to ensure receipt of the data.

If the ESC Key is touched, It will cancel the current set-up and return to the value before making the set-

up.

7 and 8 Multi-Functional

Function 1:When it is at A/T/C, Wavelength can be changed. Range of wavelength is 325nm to 1100nm

Function 2: When it is at Menu, It can roll the Menu.

Function 3: When it is at FACTOR set-up of C and in the initial wavelength of the menu, the value wanted

to set-up will automatically add 1, or subtract 1, yet it must be in “ACC” state, which means only when

“ACC” is appeared at the lower right corner of the screen, can the value add 1 automatically. Otherwise,

the function corresponds to Position 1.

9 & 10 MOVE SAMPLE

When the Instrument is turned on, and after initialization, the cuvette is at the R position. R represents

reference position S1, S2, S3 represents cuvette 1,2 and respectively.

If touch , cuvette position will move R-S1-S2-S3-R at the same time, cuvette position will be displayed on

the screen.

If touch , cuvette position will move S3-S2-S1-R-S3 at the same time, cuvette position will be displayed

on the screen.

When Putting The Reference Cuvette In The First Cuvette Place. 0A And 100%T By A/T/C should be

adjusted.

13

STORAGE MEMORIES:

The Microprocessor System Will Store The Memory Of The Spectro 2000 RS & Spectro 2000 RSP, With

The Same Set Up That Was In The Instrument Memory When The Spectro Was Last Turned Off.

When The Instrument Is Turned On Again, All Of The Previous Set Up That Was Last Used Will Still Show

On The Display.

It Means That When The Instrument Was Last Turned Off, If It Was Set Up At INT PRINT, It Will Still Be

Set Up At INT PRINT When The Instrument Is Put On The Next Time, Or If When The Instrument Was

Turned Off, And The Wavelength Was Set Up At 600nm, The Spectro Will Show 600nm The Next Time The

Instrument Is Turned On.

14

1. Touch FACTOR to get into the menu.

2. Touch FACTOR or multi-functional key ( up/down ) to get WAVELG SET-UP,

3. Touch ENTER again to set-up the initial wavelength

4. Touch ENTER key again, “CHA” at the lower right corner of the screen, changes to “ACC” which

means to start accept.

5. Memory Storage Touch multi-function key ( up/down ) to get the initial wavelength to 600nm, then

touch ENTER to accept 600nm. Next time when the instrument turns on, it’s wavelength will be at 600nm.

Setting is completed and as it is shown in the figure. At that time, if ESC is touched, it will return to the

inital set-up wavelength 550nm.
