Adjusting Parameters - Omni Bead Ruptor 24 User Manual

SECTION 5 — PROGRAMMING

5.2 ADJUSTING PARAMETERS

Use the  and  Arrow Keys to move the 'active' character (or cursor) between the different variables within
the program while the  and  buttons respectively decrease or increase the value of whichever variable
is active.
Adjusting the Speed/Energy Setting
Use the  and  arrow keys to highlight the "S"- speed setting.
The "S" (Speed) value can be varied by using the  and  Arrow buttons. "S" (Speed) adjustment ranges
from 0.8 m/s to 8 m/s in increments of 0.15 m/s.
When the desired value is reached, the user can go to the next desired variable or go back up to Program
to begin the run.
The "S" (Speed) of the Bead Ruptor is displayed in m/s, which is a specific representation of the forces applied
to the sample, due to the velocity of the tube carriage movement, and the speed and geometry of the mo-
tion. Using RPM, for example, is not representative of the bead movement and processing energy because
RPM only indicates the motor speed.
ADJUSTING THE RUN TIME
Use the  and  arrow keys to highlight the "T"- Time option.
The user can change the Run Time using the  and  Arrow buttons. The run time ranges from 1 second to
9 minutes and 59 seconds in increments of 1 second.
When the desired value is reached, the user can go to the next desired 'variable or go back up to Program to
begin the run.
