Automatic sample changer An automatic sample changer forup to 20 samples is optionallyavailable. The sample changerguarantees optimum crucible place- ment and effective use of theinstrument. Pre-programming allowsmeasurements to be carried outduring the night or over a weekend.The software can automaticallycarry out analyses using predefinedmacros. Various sensors The DSC 404 F1 Pegasus
® isgenerally used to obtain accuratespecific heat measurements. How-ever, the system allows for simpleDTA measurements or conventionalDSC tests as well. DTA sensors canbe used for applications such as routine tests on aggressive samplesubstances. Various thermocoupletypes allow optimum sensitivity andtime constants in all temperatureranges. BeFlat Unique sensor adjustmentsystem
® , DSC correction and TM-DSC For optimizing the baseline, a micro-meter adjustment system is inte-grated into the measurement part. This adjustment system allowsplacement of the sensor at theoptimum central position in thefurnace. This guarantees a stableand reproducible baseline without any major adjustment efforts. Innovative software features such as BeFlat
® and DSC correction allow afully automatic baseline correctionas well as correction for system timeconstants. All routines are fully soft-ware-based. This can be optimizedfor your specific measurement con- ditions. Furthermore, temperature-modulated DSC(TM-DSC) tests canbe carried out (not available inNorth America and Japan). DSC-c
