The operating concept of the Grain Size Analysis module is designed to make it possible to achieve a reproducible result with as little interaction as possible. The performance of a measurement can be automated to such an extent that only the project data need to be entered and the entire analysis process can run automatically.

To automate a measurement completely, you should have in depth knowledge of the application and control over the process. Carelessly made alterations of a setting can promptly lead to faulty measurement results. It is important, therefore, to prevent users not having such knowledge from changing the basic settings. This is achieved by dividing up the tasks involved into the definition of an analysis and the performance of an analysis. For this reason, the operation of the module sticks to the general operating concept of the software:

  • Creating and Managing Jobs (Supervisor)
  • Create job templates for grains size analysis, manage templates, view job results, sign & release jobs (with GxP module only). Note that under Job Mode you will find pre-defined job templates for the methods for grains analysis described.
  • Running Jobs (Operator)
    Performing grains size analysis using pre-defined job templates
