How the dispersion unit is controlled
The dispersion unit is controlled using a single software dialogue with sliders for
the air pressure, sample tray vibration feed rate, and (for hopper instruments) the
hopper feed rate. (Chapter 3 has details.) When controlled through a Standard
Operating Procedure (SOP), the software tells the user what value to set for each
parameter.
The system automatically detects which dispersion unit and cell are connected. If
more than one dispersion unit is connected, the system will detect all dispersion
units connected but only the dispersion unit that has its cell installed on the optical
bench will be “active”.
