5 Scheduling Automatic Cleaning Routines
Routine cleaning operations can be scheduled so that they are automatically included in the process queue.
Depending on the settings, the cleaning operations are automatically run at a pre-defined time or after certain
events.
To create a new entry in the schedule:
1
Select Scheduling from the Functions menu in the Cedex Control Center. The Schedule dialog box
will appear.
2
Click on NEW to open the Schedule Process dialog box.
3
Select the Process that is to be included in the schedule from the drop-down menu at the top of the
dialog box. The available processes include both cleaning routines (e.g., Fast Clean) and Hardware
Management routines (e.g., Prime, LM Shutdown).
4
Select one of the three options with regard to the time schedule for an automatic process:
c
Every: The process is automatically run at the selected interval of one or more days. A specific time of the
day for operation can also be set.
c
After an event: The process is automatically run after system startup or after a selectable number of
measurements.
c
After certain time of Inactivity: A certain amount of time of inactivity can be defined after which the
process is run automatically. If the only once box is checked, the scheduled process will only be run
once, even if there is another period of inactivity afterwards.
5
Click on SAVE to add the entry to the Schedule list. The Schedule Process dialog box will automatically close
and the Schedule dialog box will reappear showing the newly scheduled process in the list.
■
Scheduled processes can also be edited and deleted by highlighting the appropriate row in the Schedule dialog
box and then clicking on the EDIT or DELETE buttons. Clicking on the EDIT button will open the Schedule
Process dialog box in which the process can be edited.
If Prime, LM Shutdown, or routine cleaning routines have been scheduled via the scheduler, the Software
application must be left on and the HW must be started. Prime and LM Shutdown can only be performed if
the Hardware Management is active.
If an automated cleaning has been scheduled via the Scheduler function, the cleaning routine has a lower
priority than scheduled measurements and is added to the process queue after all activated (status: active or
scheduled) measurements have been carried out.
Note that measurement information placed in the Multi Run preparation area that has the status of edit is
not added to the queue. Therefore, if a Cedex Sample Cup containing a sample is added to the Multi Sample
Tray in the DefaultCup position, and the row for that sample is left in edit mode, the cup will be used for a
cleaning routine should one be scheduled to be carried out at that time. Ensure that a Cedex Sample Cup
containing a sample to be measured is never placed in the DefaultCup position on the Multi Sample Tray and
left in edit mode during a Multi Run. Samples placed in the DefaultCup position for measurement should be
immediately set to active or scheduled in order to be added to the process queue and, thus, have precedence
over all scheduled cleaning routines.
