6.4 Setting the Lamp Saver Time
Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ... Guaranteed | (888) 88-SOURCE | www.artisantg.com
The lamp saver feature enables you to extend the life of the
lamp. For example, you can set the lamp to turn off when there
is no scanner activity.
The default setting is 60 minutes. If a new run is not started
within 60 minutes after the completion of a run, the system
turns the lamp off and sets the photomultiplier tube gain to
zero (0). Otherwise, the lamp stays on with the photomultiplier
tube gain at 30 (approximately 300 volts).
NOTE: You can extend the life of the lamp by leaving it on
for extended periods of time (for example, three to four
hours) instead of turning it on and off throughout the day.
To set the lamp saver time:
1.
Display the Maintenance screen. The default setting or
last-entered setting for the lamp saver appear in the
Lamp saver box.
To change the setting, continue to step 2. Otherwise,
click on the Cancel button to return to the main setup
screen without making changes.
2. Enter the hour, minutes, or seconds in the Lamp saver
fields. (Use two digits for each value, separated by a
colon [:].) You can select all three fields simultaneously.
NOTE: Click the Lamp On or Lamp Off buttons for
immediate lamp access.
3. Click on the Save button to save the changes and return
to the main setup screen. (To cancel your selection, click
on Cancel.)
NOTE: The CytoFluor software must be running for the
Lamp Saver to operate.
