8.1).
2. Click on or MAIN WINDOW / Mode / Determination.
3. Click on or MAIN WINDOW / Window / Working method
specification
to open the WORKING METHOD SPECIFICATIONS
window.

field.
9. Select the Substances tab (see section 5.2) and make sure that
for each substance entered in the table the number of the sin-
gle or mixed standard solution, its concentration and its volume
is defined. The No. of the standard solution must be identical to
the number of the Dosing Devices used for automatic addition
of this solution.
10. If the addition of the standard solution should be done with
variable addition volumes, click the
button in the Volume
column to open the EDIT VARIED ADDITION window, enter the
variable addition volumes in the
Addition fields, and close this
