'SP'
with the <SELECT> key. This is a universal method
with the 766 IC Sample Processor as "Master" from which you can
learn the basic sample changer commands.
• After you have confirmed loading the method with <ENTER>, the
name of the method appears in the upper left corner of the display.
You can now use the TRACE function to run the method in steps to
understand how it works (see section 3.5).

parameters
number of samples: rack
• The first menu entry defines the number of sample tubes (without
the special beakers) that are to be treated in a series. Here you can
choose between
'rack'
(= a sample rack that is partially or com-
pletely filled, only positions with a sample tube are counted) and '*'
(= infinite number of samples) with <SELECT>. However for this
learning sequence, enter '3' on the keyboard. It is also possible
here, as with the other parameters, to enter data manually or use the
"select" choice.
