The Sample List will now display the tare weights of the crucibles:
Once the empty crucibles are tared, remove each crucible and load the prepared sample into
each one. Return the crucible to the correct position in the tray. Now the system can weigh
all the samples before running the play list, or you can have each sample weighed at the
beginning of its run. With Sample List highlighted, click the
Weigh List
button. The
Tare/Weigh System dialog box appears. The system automatically starts the program to
weigh each sample in the list. After the last sample, if there was a missing sample
encountered, a message is displayed:
The following samples could not be weighed. It is possible that the crucibles are
empty.
A list of samples follows. Click the dialog box's
Close
button to clear the box.
Click the
Done
button in the Tare/Weigh System window. The Sample List will now display
the weights of each sample.
For efficient use of the autosampler and to increase sample throughput, you can use remove
one tray after the samples have been run and replace the crucibles with empty ones while
the samples in the other tray are being run.
