7 Sample Data and Sample Silo
For each sample a set of data can be entered. The sample data comprise
the following:
•
Identification items (Ident1, Ident2, Ident3)
•
Sample size and unit
•
Remark line
Identification items may be used as plain descriptive text or as numeric val-
ues that can be used for calculations (variables ID1, ID2, ID3). The headers
and the field type (text, numeric, auto) may be modified to suit your needs,
see [Config.][Config.idents.].
The sample size and unit will usually be used for calculations (variable SS)
and may be entered manually or be received from a balance via the RS232
interface(s), even while a currently determination is running.
The remark line may serve to clearly specify a sample and may be used for
producing automatic file comments (see [Config.]).
7.1 How to enter Sample Data
Sample data can be entered in several different ways:
With single sample treatment (silo ‘off’)
•
manual editing in the sample data area of the main page.
•
manual editing in the ‘Actual Sample’ window, using the <SAMPLE>
hardkey on the keyboard.
•
manual editing in a during a running method sequence, using the ASK
command.
•
automatic data entry by data transmission from a balance
With sample series (silo ‘on’)
•
manual editing in the sample silo.
•
automatic data entry in the sample silo by data transmission from a bal-
ance
7.2 The Sample Silo
The sample silo is a table consisting of 160 lines to hold the data of the
samples forming a sample series. It can be accessed by pressing the
[Sample silo] softkey on the main page.
The sample identification headers and field types may be configured with
the [Sample idents] softkey. The content of the sample silo can be saved
and restored (via the [File] softkey) from the internal storage, a data card or
even from a personal computer via the RS232 interface(s).
The normal view shows the sample data line by line. Using the [Remark]
softkey you can edit or view the sample remark of each silo line. The same
softkey brings you back to the normal silo view.
The sample silo is controlled by the ‘input’ and ‘output’ pointers. The left-
most silo column always shows the current position of the input pointer (>)
and the output pointer (<).
