Description
Number of fill strokes. All fill strokes, except the last one, use the
selected fill volume. If the selected sample volume is greater than
the fill volume, the sample volume is used for all fill strokes. If you
select zero, the plunger pulls up only once using the sample
volume value.
Allows you to select a delay time between sample pullup and
ejection while filling the syringe. When the plunger reaches the
zero position during the fill strokes, the system waits half the
Pullup Del time. This allows for an air bubble to float away from
the needle tip. This feature is especially useful for removing any air
bubble in the syringe and handling viscous fluids.
Speed of plunger movement used in all syringe filling operations.
Speed of plunger movement used in all syringe eject operations
except sample injection.
Speed of plunger movement for sample injection. Typically used
for Fill Strokes.
Plunger position during the Change Syringe operation. The
syringe plunger moves to a position where you can remove and
replace the syringe. You may change the value for different types of
syringes.
Description
Activates needle guide blocking. The option after activation is Rel
NdlG, which releases needle guide blocking. Use this function key
to test the functionality of the solenoid that blocks the needle
guide.
Serves as a quick check to determine if the x, y, z coordinates are
defined correctly for the selected tray. To use this utility, the
selected tray, including the sample vials, must be present. After
pressing Movto 001, the injection unit moves to sample position
No.1. You can repeat this procedure for the last sample position in
the first row and the last sample position.
The injection unit moves to its Home position and the Job Queue
menu opens.
