Pausing to Load Samples
Introduction
If the system is running and the user selects the pause option from the IMMAGE 800
main screen, the user may choose to pause the system for a sample load. This type of
pause allows the user to load samples without waiting for the entire sytem to complete
all actions. The system provides an estimated time period before samples can be
loaded, based on the time when sample additions/removal is allowed.
Tests currently running on the reaction wheel will continue. No further dilutions are
created. While the remaining tests continue, samples may be added or removed. The
user has the option to resume operations or let the system pause to
Standby
.
