CHAPTER 5 AUTO mode and time files
41
Data acquisition’, page 29, for specific details on differences between both
modes.
In our example the nA range is chosen, and confirmed with ‘ACCEPT’. The
message ‘New time is saved’ is displayed.
Choosing ‘SCROLL’ allows you to scroll through your time file. With ‘DEL’ an
existing line in your time file can be deleted (after confirmation).
8.
Step 7 is repeated for each line in the time file. When a line is edited and
saved, without changing the time, the original line is overwritten (after
confirmation). When the time of an existing line is changed and saved, it
is saved as a new line without overwriting the original line. Each time file
can contain a maximum of 20 data lines.
9.
The last line
in the time file
is at t = 1:55. By choosing ‘SET’ you may
return to the ‘AUTO SET’ screen.
10. In the ‘AUTO SET’ screen ‘CycleTime’ is set at 3:05. If required, the drift
monitor can be programmed. In the nA range a choice can be made
between ‘off’, 1 pA/min - 0.1 nA/min in 1, 2, 5 steps.
11. Your system is now ready for automated operation. A time file is started
by choosing ‘RUN’ in the ‘AUTO SET’ screen. The ‘AUTO RUN’ screen
will appear.
This is the status screen of the AUTO mode. Current settings are displayed,
including the actual cycle number (‘Cy’) that is executed.
The auto zero command (‘A-ZERO’) is always accessible during operation in
the AUTO mode.
When the drift monitor is programmed and the drift is beyond the pre-set
value, the ‘wait...’ message is displayed in stead of the time.
