Writing An Sop For The Dispersion Unit - Malvern Hydro 2000 G User Manual

Software features

Writing an SOP for the dispersion unit

An SOP can be configured to control all settings for the dispersion unit automati-
cally. When an SOP is run, the software will (depending on how the SOP has been
set up) automatically fill the tank, flush the tank to clean it, run a de-gas routine to
remove bubbles from the dispersant and then set the pump, stirrer and ultrasound
to predefined settings. The SOP will even report if the wrong cell or dispersion
unit is fitted.
The SOP Wizard is described in full in the main User Manual. There are ten
dialogues in all but here we just describe those which have parameters specific to
the Hydro 2000G/S. These are the Sampler Selection and Sampler Settings
dialogues.
Sampler Selection dialogue
The Sampler Selection dialogue is shown below:
Select the dispersion unit to be used from the drop down list
units available will be listed, even those that are not attached to the system. This
enables an SOP to be written remotely from the system.
The system allows up to two of each dispersion unit to be connected to the optical
bench. In this situation, the dispersion units will be identified as unit A and B - for
example, there might be an entry for Hydro 2000G (A) and Hydro 2000G (B). If
using just one dispersion unit, select the "A" option.
