Output Listing

 

To display the output as a text listing that will show the calculated concentrations as numbers, click on the List tab. The peak concentration occurred at 618 years, which is outside the lower and upper time limits specified. In this example the program was able to find the peak since the bounds were reasonably close to the peak time of occurrence.
