3.24.3 Stir

All the connected stirrers can be controlled manually.

Select the [Stir] function in the Manual control dialog.

The connection (MSB 1...4) and (in brackets) the stirrer type are

shown for each Stirrer.

You can increase the stirring rate with [u] or [+] and decrease it

with [v] or [-]. The stirring direction changes as the sign changes

("+" means counterclockwise and "–" means clockwise when seen

from above). The stirring rate can also be altered while the stirrer is

running. The default setting 8 corresponds to 1000 rpm (see

Section 4.1.5, Fig. 4.14).

[Start] starts stirring and [Stop] stops it.

If you have connected more than two stirrers then you can open the

dialog for the additional stirrers with [More stirrers].
If you have started a stirrer manually then it will not be switched off

automatically at the start of a determination. This means, for example,

that you can switch on the stirrer before the start of a determination in

order to dissolve the sample. The stirrer will continue to run during the

determination until it is switched off in the determination sequence.
If a stirrer is used in the determination sequence it can nevertheless be

controlled manually at the same time. You can, for example, use the

manual control to reduce the stirring rate of a stirrer which has been

started in the determination sequence.
