3700 Portable Samplers
Section 3 Programming Guidelines
3-18
The sampler will not accept a number that exceeds the allowable
range of values placed in parentheses on the display. In the next
illustration, you cannot enter a value less than 10 ml or greater
than 990 ml as a sample volume. If an entered number exceeds
the range, the sampler will emit a series of beeps and the original
number will reappear. You must enter an acceptable value to
advance to the next step.
Editing Numbers – You can use the left arrow and
CLE A R
ENTRY
keys to edit numeric entries if they are used after you
press a numeric key and before you press the
ENTER
/
PROGRAM
key. The
CLEAR ENTRY
key will clear any typed number and the
original number will reappear. The left arrow will erase the most
recently typed number.
Some numeric input displays prompt you to enter more than one
value. In the illustration below, the prompt asks for five numeric
entries: hours, minutes, day, month, and year. You can use the
left
and right arrow keys to move back and forth between each of
the five entries. Changed individual entries as discussed above.
Pressing the
right arrow or
ENTER
/
PROGRAM
key on the last entry
will store the values and advance the display.
Military Times – You must enter times in military format: To
set the sampler’s clock to 3:30 p.m., enter a time of 15:30. When
the display above first appears, the first two digits, “12,” will
blink. To enter a new time, type in the new hour: “15.”
Store the hour entry and advance to minutes by pressing the
ENTER
/
PROGRAM
key. If you do not need to change the month or
year entry, accept the entry by pressing the right arrow or
ENTER
/
PROGRAM
key. Use the left arrow key to return to a pre-
vious position. Press the
right arrow
or
ENTER
/
PROGRAM
key on
the last entry, “04,” to store the value and advance to the next
display.
European Date Format – The sampler uses the European date
format where the day precedes the month’s three-letter abbrevi-
ation. To enter a date, enter the day before the month’s number,
and the year. The sampler converts the numeric entry to the
three-letter abbreviation for you.
Exit Program Key – The user can exit an input display by
pressing the
EXIT PROGRAM
key. If you use the
EXIT PROGRAM
key,
it will not alter the currently stored setting.
3.7 Programming
Examples
The examples throughout Section 3 demonstrate the steps used
to check the configure option settings and to program the
sampler for several different sampling routines. The pro-
gramming examples in this manual present each display in the
order in which they appear on the sampler. They are designed to
provide you with step-by-step procedures and are provided as
models for you to use later when programming the sampler for
your “real” applications. Each programming example concludes
