Prioritizing urgent samples
Via Edit > Swap you can prioritize urgent samples and analyze them earlier than scheduled.
However, in the solids modes the samples are only swapped in sample memory, and you have to
swap the samples on the carousel by hand. If multiple determination is activated you always should
swap all samples from one vial to all samples from the other vial instead of swapping only single
samples.
See Swap samples (on page 277).
Showing the weighing window
Via View > Weight window you can show and hide the weighing window. The weighing window
displays the last five sample weights input and the names of the associated samples. The current
sample weight is displayed in a larger font. The weight window makes it easier for you to check
whether the values were correctly transferred, particularly when automatically transferring weighing
data.
Weighing in samples during the analysis
While one analysis is running, you want to weigh in further samples for another document. However,
this is not possible as long as the analysis is running and the current document is open. However, you
can generate the weighing data on another PC with the aid of the "Balance" program. Weighing data
generated and saved with the "Balance" program can then be imported to the control PC via File >
Import. The condition is that the analyzer is back in standby mode or "sleeping".
Cf. "Balance" weighing data input program.
"Balance" weighing data input program
Ways of capturing weighing data
You can capture weighing data in the following ways:
 Manually.
 Automatically if the balance is connected to the control PC of the analyzer.
 With the "Balance" weighing data program from BÜCHI Labortechnik AG.
Purpose of the program
The "Balance" program is used to capture weighing data in the following
cases:
 the balance is located in a different place to the analyzer and control PC.
 While one analysis is running, you want to weigh in samples for another document. This is only
possible, however, when the analyzer is "sleeping" or when no analysis is running. However, you
can capture the weighing data with the aid of the "Balance" program and, if necessary, generate
them on a different PC.
Weighing data format
The weighing data are in *dat format. Files with this extension created with the "Balance" program
can be imported to the control PC. It is not, however, possible to import other files with the *dat
extension.
Importing weighing data
Weighing data generated and saved with the "Balance" program can then be imported to the control
PC via File > Export/Import > Import. One of the following conditions must be met for import:
 The analyzer is in standby mode, i.e. no analysis is currently running
 or the analyzer is "sleeping".
