774 Oven Sample Processor, Instructions for use

also be used for demanding special applications as well as for routine
tasks.

The operating sequences for processing individual samples can be freely
defined within wide limits. The same applies to the start and final se-
quences, which always need to be carried out once before the start and
once at the end of a sample series.

A learning mode is provided for the creation of operating sequences; with
its help command parameters can be set manually.

The standard sample rack offers place for 36 sample vials (22 mm x 38
mm). Freely definable "special beaker" positions can also be defined. These
are used for positioning conditioning beakers, which can be selected in
each part-sequence, on the rack.
