Acquiring Initial Sample in Setup Mode

Before proceeding through these steps, ensure that you have set up an experiment using the Everest
Experiment Builder (unless you are running a stat tube, which does not require experiment setup).
Use the information in Configuring Instrument Settings on page 257
while in Setup mode.
Note: Event, volume, and gate limits apply only when recording data in Setup mode.

Function
Cycle Mode — when activated, plots display only a certain number of
events, based on the time period specified in this box. After the interval is
reached, data are cleared from the plots and newly acquired events appear.
Event Rate and Volume
rate, the event count, and the volume that has been acquired from the sample
during the current run, along with target volume.
Agitate — allows you to apply agitation to a sample that has been sitting for
an extended period. Click to turn on agitation at the default speed for the
media type. Click again to turn off agitation.
Flow Rate — flow rate can either be determined by a target volume rate or
by a target event rate. To switch between volume control and event rate
control, click the corresponding button. Change the value in the box by
clicking the plus and minus buttons (for volume rate only) or by entering it
directly.
Tip:
0.1 µl is the smallest flow rate.
