-Clicking the **Analyze Sample** button will perform automated sample analyzes which will cycle through all three colors and calculate the absorbence factor for each of them.

The analyzing process will take a few seconds and a progress-bar will be updated to indicate the current step. Once the process has completed the absorbance values will be displayed.
  
 Once the analyzing process has finished it is also possible to either try to match the sample to a existing sample from the sample library or save the sample into the sample library for future use. Once the analyzing process has finished it is also possible to either try to match the sample to a existing sample from the sample library or save the sample into the sample library for future use.

 Calibration must be performed with distilled water in both the reference and the sample probes. It is also recommended that during calibration the photo-diodes are shielded from ambient light. Calibration must be performed with distilled water in both the reference and the sample probes.
