SOP Player
With SOPs created and saved, users are now able to define an SOP playlist
sequence where results can be automatically collected for a single sample using dif-
ferent measurement and/or analysis settings - this is done using the SOP player.
In order to set up an SOP playlist, users first need to create a set of SOPs for the
dispersion unit they want to use that contain the measurement settings required for
the sequence. They then select the SOP Player option from the Home ribbon
bar, the SOP Player dialogue will open.
The SOP Player is only available with the Mastersizer 3000 / Mastersizer
3000E with Extended software option.
