Instrument Menu - Agilent Technologies Varian CP-8400 Operator's Manual

Instrument Menu

The Instrument Setup button displays a screen with two selections. The
CP-8400/8410 selection has two screens that display the following
parameters:
Buzzer at Start of Cycle (On/Off) – A sound will be generated to warn of
impending tower movements when this parameter is set to On. The
default value is On.
Plunger Stroke Warning Limit (1-100,000) – This parameter defines
the expected number of strokes the plunger is expected to survive
without significant degradation. Once the entered value is exceeded, a
message will be displayed on the CP-8400/8410 Status page indicating
the plunger counter has exceeded the set value. The default number of
strokes is 10,000.
Vial Detect? (Yes or No) – Selecting Yes will cause the AutoSampler/
AutoInjector to halt and generate an error if a missing vial is
encountered. A selection of No will cause the AutoSampler/AutoInjector
to ignore a missing vial and continue until it finds a vial within the
specified range. The default value is No.
Find Home at Start? (Yes or No) – Selecting Yes will cause the
CP-8400/8410 to find its home position before starting automation or
before an autoinject action. If several people are using the CP-3800 on
which the AutoSampler/AutoInjector is mounted, then it is advisable to
leave this setting to Yes. Use the No selection for higher throughput.
Change Syringe (Softkey) -Selecting this softkey will cause the tower to
rotate such that the user will have easy access to the syringe for routine
service and syringe removal and replacement. The buzzer will sound
before any tower movement occurs. Press the Change Done softkey
upon completion of the syringe maintenance.
Change Done (Softkey) – Selecting Change Done will cause the tower
to return to its previous position and state. The buzzer will sound prior to
movement as designated by the "Buzzer at start of cycle" setting.
