The Filter Config Screen

Filter Change on Time Only In Alloy and Electronic Alloy modes, there is an additional option which
enables you to control whether the time you set or the alloy library controls
the switching of the filters.

Select the Filter Change on Time Only checkbox to override the alloy
library’s settings. When this box is checked, your analyzer will ignore the
alloy library settings and change filters only according to the time intervals
you have set for each filter.

Select the Time field for the intended filter to change the filter switch time
for that Filter. The Filter Time Editor will appear. This enables you to set
the number of seconds each enabled filter is allotted before auto-switching
will occur when needed during sample testing. Your analyzer will
auto-switch from one filter to another when the testing time for that filter is
greater than or equal to the time you have chosen, and the identified alloy is
flagged as needing the switch in the NITON Alloy Library.
