Testing Terminology
The terms AS (Autosampler CE) run sequence
and run refer to the experiments that you set up
to control the Autosampler CE motion and
running of thermal analysis methods .
A run is a single TA experiment that consists of
the following events:
• Reference and sample pans are loaded into
the DSC cell furnace.
• The DSC furnace is covered with three
metal lids.
• A standard thermal analysis method is
executed.
• The DSC cell is returned to a near-ambient
temperature.
• The DSC furnace is uncovered.
• The reference and sample pans are
removed from the DSC furnace.
An AS run sequence is a series of runs that are
executed consecutively. You create these run
sequences using the Thermal Solutions/Advan-
tage software (see the Thermal Solutions/
Advantage User Reference Guide ).
A thermal analysis method is a set of segments
that you create to control the operation of a
thermal analysis instrument (see your Thermal
Solutions/Advantage User Reference Guide
for further details).
