Command Reference
Sequence Parameters Window
The only page in the Sequence Parameters window containing SIPS
controls is the Options page.
Options Page
This page includes an error action drop down list, On flame/vapor
overrange in the Smart rinse in the Overrange group, which allows
you to select the action to occur when a SIPS Smart rinse fails.
The Flush time defines the maximum period allowed for Smart rinse
is 30 seconds. If, at the end of this period, the absorbance reading is
still greater than the minimum reading value, the message "Unable to
achieve blank reading" appears and the error action selected in this
list is executed.
Analysis Window
The following SIPS functions are available in the Analysis window:
Calibrate Pumps
Selecting Calibrate pumps from the Instrument menu in the
Analysis window starts the SIPS pump calibration procedure,
allowing you to calibrate the pumps when you are not running an
autorun. This button is only appropriate for a SIPS 20 unit (when the
Right Pump group is set to Bulk standard on the SIPS page) and will
compare the volume pumped by the two pumps when the same pump
speed is set for both. The comparison is made by measuring the
absorbance level of the same solution. You should place the inlet
tubes for both pumps into the same solution. The SIPS unit will then
automatically adjust the pump speeds to achieve the same
absorbance reading.
