Teledyne Foxy R1 - R2 4 Using the control module starts when both start signal conditions are fulfilled simultaneously, detector signal increases above Level Start value and also the first derivative of the detector signal increases above Slope Start value. If only one of the start signal conditions is fulfilled the fraction collection will not start.

Teledyne Foxy R1 - R2 4 Using the control module stops when any of the stop signal conditions is fulfilled (whatever occurs first), detector signal decreases below Level Stop value or the first derivative of the detector signal first decreases and then increases above the negative of the Slope Stop value.
4.2 Method Setup - FC - Vial Numbers Method Setup - FC - Vial Numbers tab is used for setting the behavior of the Teledyne Foxy R1 - R2 fraction collector. Fig 7: Method Setup - FC - Vial Numbers Start Vial Number Vial Number Sets the number of the vial where the first collected fraction will be stored.

Ruby Script Displays selected Ruby Script. correct TELEDYNEISCOFOXYRXFC.RB script for the Teledyne Foxy R1 - R2 instrument can be found in the UTILS/UNI_ DRIVERS/ TELEDYNE subdirectory (accessible through the button) of the Clarity installation folder (C:\CLARITY\BIN by default). Port Defines the communication port used, possible values dependent on the type of communication of the device and/or available ports in the PC.

Rack Selection Allows the user to select the correct rack type installed on the Teledyne Foxy R1 - R2 fraction collector. The Teledyne Foxy R1 - R2 fraction collector may support up to two racks depending on the model, but both settings can be read from the fraction collector itself by using the Autodetect button.
