After selecting the heaters, test cells and standards both procedures can be started. (see chapter
9.6.1 Run a Sequence). To find the optimum combination of sequences and start time delay
between them regarding the throughput it has to be done several tests because it depends on
different factors such as cleaning and preparation time of each sample, the number of test cells
that are available etc.
9.6.3 Program a sequence
The user has the possibility to program his own sequences with a pseudo code. The commands
which can be used, and a code sample are described in the chapter 9.6.4 Sequence commands.
Before a user specific sequence will be programmed the specification and expectation of the
measurement has to be known. Basically, following specifications should be defined.
- Type of measurement (liquid or solid)
- Heating temperature
- Kind of measurement
- Test voltage
- Measurement process
- Measurement values
- What to report
The easiest way to program a new sequence is to open an existing one to rename it and then to
edit it. To edit the sequence a standard text editor can be used or write direct in to the source
code text field. After programming the sequence, it has to be stored in the liquid or solid subfolder
