Autosampler Pump Control
Turns the rinse pump on and off. This control affects both the autosampler's
built-in peristaltic pump and any pump which is connected to the electronics
module’s EXTERNAL PUMP connector.
Manual Cycle
This performs one complete cycle of system operation, operating each
component on the ASX
PRESS PLUS system and autosampler. This is also a useful
function for loading the tubing and priming the rinse pump.
If you are using Manual Cycle to test the parameters you have set in the Xpress
Configuration Tool, remember that you must click Save Configuration to
ASXpress+ to copy the parameters to the ASX
PRESS PLUS electronics module.
Manual Cycle at Rinse
Moves the autosampler probe to the rinse station before performing a manual
cycle.
Home AutoSampler
Moves the sample probe to the home position. The home position is usually
the rinse station, but some autosampler personalities may define the home
position as a particular sample or standard vial.
Save Configuration to ASXpress+
Copies the parameters you see in the Xpress Configuration Tool into the
ASX
PRESS PLUS electronics module. The parameters will be saved in nonvolatile
memory, and will be used for all operations until explicitly changed again.
Saving Methods
Different experiments often require different ASXPRESS PLUS timing parameters.
The New Method, Open Method, Save Method, and Save Method As… selections
on the File menu allow you to save all of the parameters as a file on the host PC,
then recall them when needed.
The data files use the .DSAM file name extension.
