Port number
A port number is a 4-digit code (0000 to 9999) that identifies the port in which sample is set. The last digit indicates
the port position (the corresponding number is marked on the top face of the sample rack). Port 10 is indicated as “0”.
The first three digits are a sequential number assigned to the sample racks loaded onto the sampler: the first rack on
the sampler is indicated as “000” and the second rack, “001”. However, for port 10, the first three-digit number is one
larger than that of other ports of the same rack: the first rack is indicated as “001” and the second rack, “002”. Port
numbers are displayed and printed along with measurement results.
Sample rack transportation
The instrument supports two methods for transporting sample racks in the sampler: “one-way transportation” and
“loop transportation”. To change the rack transportation method, contact your distributor.
One-way transportation (factory-set)
Up to 5 sample racks (50 samples) can be loaded onto the loading side of the sampler. The racks exit the unloading
side in order after sample aspiration has finished.
