Page 21: Description Of The Instrument
4 Description of the instrument Description of the instrument Function The OE700 series is a laboratory spectrometer for qualitative and quantitative analysis of metal grades. The metal sample to be analysed is positioned at the spark stand and clamped with a hold-down device. -
Page 22: Components And Operating Controls
The contents are displayed on the screen and further processed (quality detection, monitoring of limit values for process control, etc.). The OE700 series uses a special processor which allows the simultaneous evaluation of up to 16 individual sensors. That permits very precise analysis by means of DIA (Dynamic Integration Algorithm). -
