Up to six individualtemperatures can be recorded for each sample, usually associated to critical points such asonset of the melt, meniscus point, clear point, change in coloration, decomposition andsublimation. All visual flags are displayed and stored in the final Test Report along withthe automated results.TipDuring a melt determination, the user can watch the samples through the magnifyingglass, detect the physical changes as the heating ramp progresses and flag all relevanttemperature values by pressing the dedicated sample buttons, without ever looking awayfrom the capillaries.Report MenuMelt > ReportTouch the Report button to display the Report Screen and access any of the Melt PointReports stored in memory. Note that the Report button is replaced by the Graph buttonduring a melting point determination.Figure 17. Melt Report SubMenuUp to eight Melt Point Reports can be stored in memory. Each Report contains bothautomated and visual results for the melt as well as all relevant instrument setupparameters and complete Melt Graphs.The Newest Report is always shown when the Report Screen is first displayed. Use theSelect key to display previous Reports stored in memory.Warning!All stored Reports are erased when the unit is turned off.
