signed in a command then the window Device assignment appears for as-
signing the device.
• Check solutions
Checks whether the solutions demanded in the device-specific commands
are present and available.
• Check sensors
Checks whether the sensors demanded in the device-specific commands
are present and available.
Note
The Start test can also be triggered manually in the
READY status with the menu
item Tools, Run test .
4 - Preconditioning (only for methods with conditioning)
In methods that contain commands with switched-on conditioning and in which
the option
Automatic conditioning is switched on in the START command then pre-
conditioning will start for all these commands. Preconditioning does not belong to
the determination itself and does not increase any counter (
Sample number , Statis-
tics ).
• Conditioning requirement not fulfilled
After the start of preconditioning the status changes to
COND BUSY . In this
status conditioning can be started with [Start] even though the conditioning
requirement has not been fulfilled. Conditioning can also be canceled with
[Stop] or interrupted with [Hold] and then continued with [Cont] . If an error
occurs during conditioning then neither the Error track nor the Exit track will
be carried out.
• Conditioning requirement fulfilled
If the conditioning requirement has been fulfilled then the status changes to
COND READY . In this status the determination can be started with [Start] .
Conditioning can also be canceled with [Stop] or interrupted with [Hold] and
then continued with [Cont] . The conditioning requirement will continue to be
monitored continuously until the determination has been started.
5 - Start method
At the start of the method the following checks and actions are triggered:
• Check sample data
Checks that the entered Sample data corresponds to that defined in the
Method variables and is valid.
• Assign determination ID
An unambiguous determination ID is assigned for the determination.
• Reserve device (module)
The devices (or their functional units) used by the device-dependent com-
mands contained in the method are reserved for the duration of the deter-
mination, i.e. they cannot be used in other workplaces nor can they be op-
erated manually.
• Increment sample number
The
Sample number is increased by +1 .
• Increment statistics counter
If statistics has been switched on in both the
START command and on the
tab Single determinations then the statistics counter is increased by +1 . If a
new method is loaded or if the statistics counter agrees with the set counter
then the current statistical data will first be deleted and the statistics counter
reset to
0 .
