Parameter Function
Method Displays the current method name (text only).
Collect Displays the currently selected collection mode: All, Threshold,
Windows, Windows/Threshold (text only).
Rack Displays the currently selected rack (text only).
MultiRun Menu for choosing the multiple run function:
Overlay – causes collection to occur in the same tubes for each
subsequent experiment. In this mode the initial end tube should
be equal to or greater than the number of tubes required for
each experiment.
Seq. Tube+1 – increments the start and end tube numbers at
the end of each run so that one tube is skipped between runs.
In this mode the initial end tube should be set to reflect the
number of tubes required for each experiment rather than the
number of tubes in the rack. If the incremented start or end
tube number exceeds the rack’s tube capacity, a message
appears stating that there are not enough tubes for the next
run.
Seq. Rack – increments the start and end tube numbers at the
end of each run so that each run starts at a different rack. In this
mode, the initial end tube should be set to reflect the number of
tubes required for each experiment rather than the total number
of tubes available. If the incremented start or end tube number
exceeds the rack’s tube capacity, a message appears stating
that there are not enough tubes for the next run.
Start Tube #
End Tube #
Used to set the start tube and end tube. A, B, C, and D
correspond to the specific rack position and the associated
number corresponds to the tube position within each rack. Start
tube and end tube are automatically updated at the end of an
experiment if MultiRun is set to
Seq. Tube+1 or Seq. Rack.
Frac. Size Defines the current fraction size in time (min), volume (ml), or
drops.
