Data safety management
The Interrliner has its own external PC. This means that all collected data is stored on the hard-disk of the
external computer.
This means that all raw data and results are kept, irrespective of a power failure or if the instrument is un-
intentionally turned off. After the start-up procedure the software checks whether there are any ESR's still
outstanding. If so, these will be carried out first. After a power failure the sedimentation time (60 or 30 min.)
may be exceeded. However, the start time is saved and therefore the actual sedimentation time can be
checked.
Important system settings are kept in an internal Flash Eprom inside the instrument.
In case of corrupted files, the program will automatically load and use the backup files.
10.1 - Power failure
If a power failure occurs it is recommended that the Interrliner is switched
OFF
by the power reset switch.
When the power returns, the instrument can be switched
ON
. After the standard start-up process the
Interrliner will continue to process the remaining samples.
