Multiple Samples per Bottle
Multiple Samples per Bottle is not a stand alone function but works in conjunction with other TIME, FLOW
and certain * Modes (*02, *04, *05, *06, *09) to expand the capabilities of the sampler. The sampler places
from 2 to 99 samples in each bottle. In order to use Multiple Samples per Bottle, the user selects the mode of
choice - a TIME, FLOW, or * Mode. After entering the required information, the PUSH START/OPTIONS
prompt will appear on the display. At this cue press <MULTI SAMPLE> and enter the number of samples
per bottle. For example, if Flow Mode were being used and Multiple Samples Per Bottle is set at 5, each time
an event occurred, such as a contact closure or the end of a time interval, the sampler would place a sample in
a bottle. When the next event occurs, the sampler would place another sample in the SAME bottle, until 5
samples had been placed in that bottle. It would then advance the spout to the next bottle in sequence. The
sampler would then repeat the process above for the current bottle. This would continue until the total
number of bottles the unit is configured for (set in *99) have received their allocation of samples.
