Chapter 11: Qualification Reports
Kaye ValProbe RT User Manual 106
The first vertical red line indicates the time the first Temperature sensor reached the
lethality base temperature (Tb). The lethality base temperature is marked by the
horizontal red line.
The second vertical line is either 15 or 30 seconds after the first Temperature sensor
reached the base temperature, depending on the time period you select. The text at the
top right of the graph indicates if the sensors passed (including the actual equilibration
time) or failed according to the equilibration criteria.
From Graph Report screen, check the Equilibrium box to open the Edit Sensors screen.
From this screen you can:
• Select/unselect sensors
• Select the Reference Sensor from the drop-down list
• Enter a reference temperature
• Choose a time of 15 or 30 seconds from the drop-down list
• Select OK to display the Equilibration Time graph
Important:
• Excluded sensors from any graph reports are not included in the calculation graphs.
• Groups with only one sensor have no statistical calculations available and the
checkboxes are grayed out.
• The Lethality calculation is only available if lethality has been defined for the study.
• The saturation pressure calculation is only available if the study includes at least
one temperature sensor along with a pressure sensor.
• The saturation temperature calculation is only available if the study includes at least
one pressure sensor along with temperature sensors.
• The Equilibrium calculation is only accessible if the Qualification data storage rate
is 1 sec.
The following buttons on the bottom of the screen offer additional graphing options:
Zoom
By utilizing the zoom icons at the bottom of the screen or by using your fingers
you can zoom in or out or rest the zoom for enhanced analysis.
Y / X Scaling
Pressing the Manual Y – Scale button allows you to manually adjust the Y axis scale.
The X-Axis Display button allows you to select different options for displaying the X
time axis.
