5.4.1. Automated DDM
To use the DDMs in an automated fashion, they first must be enabled
from the Instrument Settings Screen 2. The screen is shown in Figure 5-6
and the enabling of the option is discussed in Section 2.2.4 of this
manual.
Figure 5-6. Instrument Settings Screen 2
Depending on the apparatus installed (e.g., Baskets, Paddles), the DDMs
can be programmed to open simultaneously or sequentially. Sequential
delivery is most often preferred when pulling manual samples to allow for
additional time between vessels. The time between dosage drops is
called the DDM increment and will be addressed specifically in Section 6
of this manual.
5.4.2. Manual DDM
An alternative to automated DDM use is to hand-actuate the individual
doors at the start of the dissolution method.
