Upon connection, Vision may prompt for the
instrument configuration. This is used to establish
a Diagnostic Database. (Under some
circumstances this screen may not appear.)
It is important that the instrument be correctly
identified, to prevent corruption of the database.
If only one instrument is in use, accept the
information and click “OK”.
If a Reference Standardization does not exist
for the selected configuration, Vision will
display this message.
The user should perform both Reference
Standardization and Instrument Calibration,
to assure good method transfer.
As explained in the section on Reference Standardization, Vision stores two references, based upon
whether the sample is scanned directly on the sample window, or on the vial tray which is raised
from the sample window to allow free motion.
By storing two separate reference files, Vision can compensate for the optical difference between the
two methods. This allows use of one library or calibration, which is applied to either sampling
method.
If the user does not see this message, Vision has the required Reference Standardization in place to
perform this operation.
6.2 Use of Vial Dialog Selection Menu
The MultiVial Analyzer is designed for automated scanning of multiple vials. Vision Software supports
this feature, and permits the user to set up the system for each sample to be collected. While the
instrument is scanning, the user can prepare the next set of samples, or perform other necessary lab
work.
To set up the MultiVial Analyzer for automated sampling, follow these instructions:
