10 Glossary
Analytical Instrument: The instrument, typically an ICP-AES or ICP-MS, to
which the autosampler is connected.
Arm: The autosampler arm that extends from the ASX-112FR Z-drive
assembly. The arm moves left/right and the Z-drive assembly moves up and
down. The sample probe is attached to the arm.
COM Port: A serial communications connection between the autosampler and
the host computer.
Dual Flowing Rinse Station: The autosampler component used to clean the
sample probe with two separate rinse solutions.
ETFE: Ethylenetetraflouroethylene.
FEP: Fluorinated ethylene propylene.
Gas Displacement Pump: An optional on-board pump controlling the
movement of the rinse solutions from pressurized sealed bottles to the rinse
station.
Home Block: See Y-Axis Slider Block.
Host Computer: The computer that controls operation of the ICP-AES / ICP-MS
instrument to which the CETAC autosampler is attached, and through which
the autosampler is controlled.
Hz: Hertz.
ICP/ICP-AES/ICP-MS: Inductively Coupled Plasma / Inductively Coupled
Plasma Atomic Emission Spectrometer / Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass
Spectrometer.
ICP-MS Software: The measurement automation software on the host
computer which controls the measurement system. In addition to controlling
the spectrometer, this software sends commands to the autosampler so that
samples are introduced at the right time.
ID: Inside diameter.
I/O Ports: The connections used for establishing communication between the
ASX-112FR and the host computer or other external devices (such as
QuickWash).
LED: Light-emitting diode.
