3.14 Silo memory for sample data

In the silo memory or pushup storage, sample data (method, identifications and smpl

size) can be stored. This is useful, e.g. when you work with Sample Changers and other

automatic sample addition systems or if you wish an overview of your determination

results, see page 50.

Press the key <SILO> for working with the silo

memory. The status LED "silo" is on when the silo

memory is switched on. The silo memory works by the

FIFO principle (First In, First Out).

If the silo memory is switched on, sample data are routed to the last free line of the silo

memory. If no new value is put in, the value from the last line is automatically copied. In

this manner, data can be simply taken over when they remain unchanged.

When the instrument is started, the sample data are fetched from the next silo line.

Organization of the silo memory

Silo memory contains 35 lines.

Next free line is 36

6 of the 35 lines have been proc-

essed. Free lines from 36 to 255 and

from 1 to 6.

1 silo line needs between 18 and 120 bytes memory capacity.

Filling the silo memory with a connected balance
If the silo memory is filled from the balance, you must ensure that there is sufficient space

in the silo memory for the required number of silo lines! The number of free bytes is given

in the user memory report.

When the sample data are entered from a balance, the transfer of the sample size is

taken as the end of the silo line. You should not send data from the balance and edit the

silo memory at the same time.

For mixed operation, manual input of identifications and sample sizes from a balance, the

values from the balance are sent into the line in which editing just takes place. Confirm

the data with <ENTER> at the Coulometer.
