4. Sample measurements ABL800 FLEX Operator's Manual
General information
Measuring
modes with
FLEXQ
With the FLEXQ module installed, it is possible to make the measuring process
automatic (i.e. just place up to three samples in the sampler tray and go), or to
place a single sampler in the sampler tray and perform a single measurement.
The following rules apply to the batch mode:
•
The analyzer is connected to the RADIANCE system
•
All information is entered on the RADIANCE system via FLEXLINK
•
Automatic data request is based on Sampler ID
•
Measuring mode will always be the largest syringe mode, and it will be
marked "Flex"
•
Default layout is always used.
The following rules apply to a single measurement:
Parameter profile received from the
RADIANCE system
Parameter profile not received from
the RADIANCE system
•
Measuring modes will be those
syringe modes that can provide the
requested parameter profile; these
modes will be marked "Flex"
•
The measuring modes are those that
can be selected on the analyzer (see
Available modes and parameters
below)
•
Default layout is always used.
•
The layout will be the one assigned
to the selected measuring mode.
Available modes
