6. Often increasing the testing time makes it possible to separate the alloys There was sufficient statistical information but the test sample did not meet any of the existing specifications with enough precision to cause an exact match identification Inrare cases grade specifications may overlap meaning that a single sample can meet the specification of two or more alloys In this case it is possible to see an exact match to multiple alloys and increasing test time will not separate the matches No match There are several causes for a no match result 28 Chapter 2 103202 01EN Rev A December 2012 The test sample does not meet any of the specifications in the Grade library The test sample is coated The testing time was too short The match number is too low NOTE See Appendix H on page 141 for information on troubleshooting valid matches There may be occasions when valid matches fail to register as exact This could happen because of measurement uncertainties or the presence of tramp elements The Match Settings screen allows you to change the Match Cutoff and nSigma parameters in order to correct for measurement uncertainties or the presence of tramp elements To configure the match settings 1 In the Library Manager screen tap Match Settings to display the Match Settings screen see Figure 2 9 on page 29 In the Grade Match Parameters area tap the up or down arrows A v to select
