Measurement
Parameters The date, time, background, injectors used
and the measurement time are displayed
below the toolbar. You can choose if the
displayed background value is to be sub-
tracted from the measured values.
Sample matrix The microplate is depicted as a sample
matrix with each well being represented by
a box. Here you can select the wells to be
measured. For Raw Data, the measured
results are entered in the respective boxes,
for Slow Kinetics and Fast Kinetics meas-
urements are displayed in a separate ta-
ble.
Status bar The status bar keeps you informed about
the status of the sample drawer and the
next operating steps in accordance with the
selected measurement protocol.
4.4.2 Working with the Measurement Menu
This section briefly describes all functions that all measurement
methods have in common. The functions which all measure-
ments with injectors have in common (for example, priming) will
be discussed at the end of this section.
All important functions in the measurement menu can be se-
lected via tool buttons. Buttons or menu items that cannot be
selected are dimmed. Some buttons are dimmed (gray), for ex-
ample, when a measurement is running or no contact has been
established with the luminometer or the data of the last meas-
urement have not yet been saved. In all these cases a meas-
urement cannot be started.
