When “Use sample table” is selected in Analysis Method, samples must 
be defined in the following procedure before measurement.   
Open the monitor window and click the 
 button.  
When the Sample Table window in Fig. 3-11 appears, enter the sample 
name and comment for each sample.   
 
1 For creating a sample table newly, make entry for Number of 
Samples and click the Update button.    For instance, if there are 
five samples, enter “5” for Number of Samples and click the 
Update button.

3.4  Conducting Measurement  
 
(1)  When “Use sample table” is not selected in Analysis Method, you 
should click the 
  button and make sure that a sample has 
already been defined.   
 
(2)  Set a sample and click 
 (measurement) button.  
Measurement starts and a spectrum is displayed.   
For halting the measurement midway, click the 
 (stop) 
button.   
 
(3)  Upon completion of the measurement, the measured data will be 
saved automatically at the specified saving location using the 
specified file name when auto saving is selected.     
If auto saving is not selected, select the “Save As” command from 
the File menu and save the data.   
Opening the saved data file will display the data processing 
window as shown in Fig. 3-17.    This figure shows a spectrum 
and the result of rate calculation.    Peak table can be displayed, 
but both the result of rate calculation and the peak table cannot 
be displayed simultaneously.    Simultaneous display is selectable 
from the View menu.

(5)  Upon completion of the measurement, the measured data will be 
saved automatically at the specified saving location using the 
specified file name.    Opening the saved data file will display the 
data processing window as shown in Fig. 3-20.    This figure 
shows a spectrum and the result of rate calculation.    Peak table 
can be displayed, but both the result of rate calculation and the 
peak table cannot be displayed simultaneously.     
Simultaneous display is selectable from the View menu.

① Spectrum  
The spectrum of a measured sample is displayed.   
 
②  Result of rate calculation   
The result of rate calculation (slope, activity, R, R2) are 
displayed.    Start time and end time are settable by numeric 
input or clicking Set with the line cursor aligned.     
After setting, click Update for recalculation.    For rate 
calculation, refer to Appendix B.

NOTICE:  1.  The data measured under the following conditions will 
be saved automatically in Program Files\FL 
Solutions\Data.  (Example:  C:Program Files\FL 
Solutions\Data)  
(1)  Measurement was carried out using a sample table 
with no file name specified in the File Name 
column.  
(2)  Measurement was carried out with “Auto File” 
specified and a file name unspecified, avoiding use 
of a sample table.   
2.  The data measured under the following conditions will 
be saved automatically in Program Files\FL Solutions.     
(Example:  C:Program Files\FL Solutions)  
(3)  There is not an adequate free area in the specified 
storage medium (such as floppy disk or MO).     
(4)  Writing is inhibited.   
A file automatically saved under such a condition as above is 
named according to the following rule.   
Rule 1:  When a file name is given to analysis method: 
File name of analysis method + serial No. (001, 
002, ...)   
Rule 2:  When a file name is not given to analysis method:   
DEFLT + serial No. (001, 002, ...)
