Operation - Advanced Use

Press Mix, then select the mixing mode (air or asp/ disp).

Press Chge to switch modes.

Press ENTER, then Next.

Key in volume, press

ENTER.

Optionally, press Flow.

•For AIR mode, key in a value for Disp flow, press ENTER.

This mode uses the configured value for Asp. Flow (default = 4 mL/min).

•For ASP/DISP mode only, key in a value for Asp flow, press ENTER, press Next, then key in a value for Disp flow, press ENTER. Press Next, then key in number of cycles.

Press ENTER.

Press ESC.

Link

The purpose of this task is to join Methods so that they will be executed serially.

What it Does

Link creates a file (Link File) in which the file numbers corresponding to the Methods to be linked are placed. When you press Run the Methods are executed in the order in which they were entered in the Link File.

Example

You want to create Link File #44, which is to contain 4 Methods:

#7 Dilute,

#8 Rinse,

#9 Mix,

#8 Rinse.

Key in Link File number (44), press ENTER, press Edit.

The only criterion is that the number of the Method file to be linked must exist. If it does not exist, you will see the error message ‘Method does not exist’.

At the Task Menu Screen press More, press Link.

Key in the file number of the first Method to link (7), press ENTER, press Next.
