3.6 Instrument Parameters
3.6.1 Setting/Verifying the Instrument Parameters
The instrument parameters are those instrument settings which
are valid for all measurements. This is where the mechanical
times for the injector pumps and the instrument sensitivity are
standardised using a certain calibration factor.
For luminometers with one or two injectors installed, this is where
you define which injector(s) is/are to be activated, along with their
volumes. The activated injectors and injector volumes can be
changed here (default values) or in the parameter protocols
(protocol specified) when needed (see chapter 2.7 for volume
ranges).
The best way to check the presently defined instrument
parameters is by producing a parameter printout which is created
as follows (press the softkeys in bold face):
READY <DATE> <TIME>
MEASURE PROTOCOL -OTHERS-
<DATE> <TIME>
OPER. FUNCT. TURN ONCE -OTHERS-
<DATE> <TIME>
SYST. CONFIG. INSTR. PARAM. -OTHERS-
ENTER CALIBRATION FACTOR FOR BLACK RLU 1.00
PRINT PARAM.
ENTER CALIBRATION FACTOR FOR RED RLU 1.00
PRINT PARAM.
These values are factory set and do not usually have to be
changed. You will only have to enter them again in the event of a
memory loss in which some or all of these data are destroyed. For
your instrument, these parameters are:
