to (1) (to detach the peristaltic tube from the roller).

period of time set in advance, and the liquid sample is sipped and
delivered to the flow cell.
This lever can also be used together with the return key to return the

details of the procedure using the RETURN key are described in the
follwing section.
NOTE:
The sipping lever can be activated while the measurement
screen is displayed. It is not activated while the condition
setup screen is displayed.
