max. stroke path
This max. stroke path setting is important for safety reasons. Correct entry
of this value can prevent, that i. e. an injection needle or tubing will be bent.
The working head cannot move any lower than the position entered here
(0 mm = upper stop of lift). Make these settings before you edit the rack
definitions.
>tower 1
min. beak. radius
This is also a safety setting. In order to prevent a fully equipped, wide titration
head from trying to enter a narrow sample beaker a limit for the minimum
necessary beaker radius can be entered here. During a method sequence
the value entered here will be compared with the value given for the effective
beaker radius in the rack table before the lift is lowered and, if necessary, an
error message will be produced.
Entering * prevents a comparison from being made.
>tower 1
>>swing head 1
If a 786 Swing Head equipped with a robotic arm is mounted on the Sample
Processor then it is essential that the correct settings for the mounted robotic
arm are entered, as otherwise the instrument will not be able to position it
exactly.
Each of the following settings can be interactively defined with the LEARN
function. Press the <LEARN> key and then move the lift or robotic arm
with the arrow keys < > and < > or <
can be accepted with <ENTER> and corrected later.
For further explanations of the LEARN mode, see section 2.3.8.
