Clarity Controls

DataApex UNI Setup

dialog must be the same as the one set on the

fraction collector.

Rack Selection

Allows the user to select the correct rack type installed on the

Teledyne

Foxy 200

fraction collector. The

Teledyne Foxy 200

fraction collector

supports two racks but both settings can be read from the fraction collector
itself by using the

Autodetect

button.

Note:

The setting of the racks to be used is performed in the Method A of the
fraction collector and cannot be changed from the side of

Clarity

- this is

the limitation of the fraction collector communication protocol.
