Time Mode - Single Time Interval
This mode is similar to * START except the user sets the Time Interval instead of having it automatically set
to 1 hour. The user enters a time in HH:MM format from 1 minute to 99 hours and 59 minutes. This time
interval is used to initiate each sampling sequence in this program until the sampler ends its cycle and/or is re-
programmed. After the time interval is entered and the program has been initiated by pressing <START>, the
sampler will begin counting down the time interval. When the interval has elapsed, the unit will advance the
spout, draw 1 sample, and place it in a bottle. The timer will reset as soon as the sample cycle starts and will
immediately begin counting down the same time interval again. After the interval has elapsed again, the spout
will advance and another sample will be taken and deposited. This will continue until the total number of
bottles the unit is configured for (set in *99) each have 1 sample placed in them or a bottle full condition
occurs. For example, if the time interval is set for 1 hour 30 minutes, the sampler would count down 1 hour
and 30 minutes, advance the spout, take the first sample, and reset the timer. After another 1 hour and 30
minutes the spout would advance to bottle 2, the sampler would take a sample and reset the timer, etc.
