Agilent 708-DS Dissolution Apparatus
Training Manual
Revision A September 2010
P/N: xx-xxxx
Timer Alarm: This alarm functions as a countdown timer. Once the
duration is entered, in HH:MM:SS, and Ok is pressed, the timer counts
down to zero. At the time of expiration, an alarm is sounded and a dialog
appears on the touch screen of the 708-DS. The alarm will sound until Ok
is pressed to clear the dialog. To access this function from the Main
screen, press Menu > Alarms. An alarm button will appear on the Main
screen if the Timer Alarm is active.
Pause Duration Alarm: This setting allows the user to set a maximum
pause period while running a method. When a ongoing method is paused,
a timer will begin counting. If the time the method is paused exceeds the
Pause Duration, an alarm will sound and a message will be sent to the
printer. This is especially useful to track the time that a Media Change /
addition takes during applicable methods. Entering 00:00 in this field
disables the alarm. To access this function from the Main screen, press
Menu > Alarms.
Sample Time Point Alarm: From within the method setup options
(Method Properties Screen 3), a notification is enabled to alert to user to
upcoming sample time points. Enabling this feature activates the sample
notification dialog as well as audible alarms. The Alarm Lead Time,
setup in conjunction with the time point alarm, allows the user to
determine how long before the time point the notification dialog appears.
This is discussed in greater detail in Section 6 of this manual.
