D.7 Selecting Syringe Speeds for Front Panel Operation
For front panel operation, syringe speeds are set on the SYSTEM PARAMETERS
screen (see Figure D-14
).
NOTE The syringe speed settings described in this section are
used only if the AS is controlled exclusively from the
front panel. When the autosampler is controlled by
Chromeleon or Chromeleon Xpress (even if it is not
currently connected to the software), the AS uses the
syringe speeds selected in the software (see Section 3.7
).
Two syringe speed parameters are available: METHOD SYRINGE SPEED and
FLUSH SYRINGE SPEED.
• The METHOD SYRINGE SPEED is used for the following operations:
• Aspirating and dispensing sample during loop or concentrator loading
• Aspirating and dispensing sample during sample prep operations, except
for mixing and dilution
• Aspirating from and dispensing to the flush reservoir during sample prep
operations and loop or concentrator loading
• Aspirating an air bubble
• The FLUSH SYRINGE SPEED is used for the following operations:
• Flushing
• Reagent priming after concentrator loading
• Reagent priming and flushing after concentrator loading (when a
reservoir is the specified source).
