5.5 Programming PROGRAM TYPE
5.5.1 PROGRAM TYPE Overview
PROGRAM TYPE is the function which determines how the sampler will
perform its program. A variety of options are available. These options are
programmable from the Touchpad and require only that the sampler have the
correct equipment configuration to utilize them. The basic function of the
Program Type is to determine the movement of the distributor.
The program option which determines that
all the samples that are gathered will be
placed in a single container. The sampler
program terminates after the specified
number of samples have been taken.
This option is used for discrete sampling
applications, to deposit one or a number of
samples to one container before advancing
to the next container. The interval between
samples is controlled by the SAMPLE
INITIATION function. The
multi-composite setting is programmable up
to 99 samples per container, for up to 24
containers depending on the hardware
configuration.
This option is used for discrete sampling
applications, to successively deposit one
sample to each of a programmed number of
containers on any given sample initiation.
The consecutive setting is programmable up
to 99 containers per sample initiation.
Allows the sampler to deposit equal sample
volumes into a predetermined number of
containers per programmed day. Each day
may have any number of samples taken,
dependent on the SAMPLE INITIATION
mode chosen. Deposits are made to as many
as 9 containers per day, to a cumulative total
of 24 containers. Timing is dependent on the
crystal-controlled Real Time Clock in the
controller. The first program day will be the
current day the programming is done.
