13.5 Performing Measurements
To speed up measurements
•
Automatic sample naming: See Chapter 10.3.
•
Prethermostatting: Prethermostat your samples to the measuring
temperature before injection to reduce the time necessary for the
temperature equilibration.
•
Predetermination option: Using this option reduces the measuring time
substantially (see Chapter 12.2.1).
To perform a measurement
1. Before starting a measurement, check if:
•
the hoses are connected correctly
•
the hose connections are tight
•
the waste hose leads into the waste container
•
the waste container’s volume is large enough for the number of samples
•
the correct sample names are entered
•
the method settings are set correctly
•
suitable cleaning liquids are available.
2. Fill the measuring cell with sample.
3. Enter a sample name if required.
4. Tap <Start> and wait until the measurement is finished.
