2.1.3 Measurement Terminology
■ Batch
A batch is a group of samples that the instrument measures successively. For practicality’s sake, a
batch includes any number of samples measured after the start key has been pressed and until the
instrument puts itself on standby again.
■ Measurement number
A measurement number is a 4-digit number given to each sample (or a port of the sample rack),
and appears like “No. 0001” on displayed and printed results reports. Once you have set the
measurement number for the first sample, the instrument automatically assigns consecutive
numbers to the following samples. You have two alternative options for measurement numbering.
One is to assign sequential numbers through batches, and the other is to reset the number at the
beginning of each batch. Furthermore, you can assign the numbers either to samples or sample
rack ports regardless of whether the ports have samples or not (see “3.2.3. Configuring the
Measurement Numbering Method” on page 3-6). The measurement number is reset to “0001” at
power-on.
■ Rack-port number
A rack-port number identifies the location of a sample by the sample rack port where the sample
has been loaded, and consists of a 3-digit rack number and a 2-digit port number. Rack numbers
are assigned to sample racks in the order in which they are loaded into the sampler and start with
“001”. Port numbers are assigned to the ports of the sample rack and start with “01” for port 1. The
rack-port number appears like “Po. 001-01” on the displayed and printed results reports.
Example: First sample rack 001-01 001-02 001-03 001-04 .........
001-10
Second sample rack 002-01 002-02 002-03 002-04 .........
002-10
REFERENCE: Four-digit port numbers for result printing, transmitting, and viewing operations
Port numbers in a different format are used to specify a range of results you want to print,
transmit, or review on the screen (see page 3-8). They are 4-digit numbers from 0000 to 9999,
which identify the order of the sample racks in the sampler and the position of the ports where
samples are present.
