Configuring Software and Security
Customizing the Status Panel
NOTE
Windows > Status Panel Settings is available only when the software is connected to the
Analyzer.
2. In the Concentration Bar pane:
a. Select Concentration or Coincidence. If you select Concentration, the particle
concentration will appear on the Status Bar. If you select Coincidence, the coincidence
correction will appear on the Status Bar.
Coincidence correction adjusts for incidences of two particles passing through the aperture
at the same time. Based on the size distribution, the Multisizer 4 adjusts the count by
replacing large pulses with smaller pulses at a statistically correct size.
b. In the Warning Level field, enter the concentration or coincidence correction percentage
that will trigger a warning (that is, change the scale color to red or the warning color you
select). The default maximum concentration is 10%. For more information on suggested
concentration levels, see Preparing the Analyzer for Calibration, page 3-12.
c. In the Full Scale field, enter the total concentration percentage that the scale will display.
Beckman Coulter recommends that you enter a value that is twice the Warning Level
percentage. The default Full Scale percentage is 20%.
d. Click ( Color ) to change the scale color used to indicate that the concentration or
coincidence correction level is within the acceptable range.
3. In the Jar and Tank Bars pane:
a. In the Warning Level box, enter the percent full that will trigger a warning (that is, change
the Jar or Waste Tank display to red or the warning color you select). The default warning
level is 80%.
b. Click ( Color ) to change the color used to display Jar and Waste Tank fluid that is below the
warning level.
4. In the Warning Color, Distribution Graph, Progress Bar, Status Text Colors, and Blockage
Monitor panes, select the desired Status Bar display options such as lines and colors.
5. In the Click pane:
a. In the Every [X] pulses field, enter the number of electrical pulses that will occur between
audible clicks on your computer.
b. In the Level field, enter a value between 0 and 5 to set the desired volume of the clicks.
c. Click ( Test ) to test the volume level.
6. In the Status Panel Location pane, select Left or Right to display the Status Panel on the left or
right side of the Multisizer 4 software window.
7. Click ( OK ) when you are finished. Changes take effect immediately. You do not need to restart
the Multisizer 4 software.
