which shows the alarm status of each of the instrument
parameters.

Figure 7

–2.

Instrument Status window

A click on a particular parameter status light will show the
current value, alarm limits, and alarm acknowledgement button
(

Figure 7–3

). If all parameters are within limits but the status

light is red, clicking on the

Acknowledge All

button will change

the instrument status light to green.

Wait until all parameters are within limits (the status light is
green), before starting scheduled analysis.
