Chapter 3 Performing Analysis
This chapter explains the sample analysis when operating the CS-5100 using the tracks.
3.1 Analyzing the sample on the tracks
Analyze samples using the tracks.
The instrument analyzes the sample on the tracks after it acquired the order information from the host computer
according to the sample ID that was identified by the LAS. You cannot manually register an order that is going to be
analyzed on the tracks.
See the CS-5100 Instructions for Use for more details on the prerequisite settings for the analysis through the host
inquiry.
(➤ CS-5100 Instructions for Use “Chapter 3: 3.8.3 Sending an order inquiry to the host computer to perform
analysis”)
1 On the IPU, check that the tracks are ready to use.
Check that the communication status is green on the LAS connection status display of the status bar.
(➤ P.2- 1 “Chapter 2: 2.2 Checking the LAS connection status”)
(➤ P.2- 2 “Chapter 2: 2.3 Disconnecting the LAS”)
Even after the analysis on the track sample is completed, the CS-5100 status will remain at
[Processing] (analyzing) for the subsequent analysis.
When you open the light shield lid to refill the consumable supplies or to carry out maintenance
work, press the LAS setting button on the status bar and disconnect the LAS.
(➤ P. 2 -2 “Chapter 2: 2.3 Disconnecting the LAS”)
• All of the analysis on the track sample will be carried out in normal mode.
The instrument analyzes the sample in normal mode even if the mode was set to [Micro-
Sample Mode] in the [System Settings] dialog box (under [Instrument Settings] → [Sampling
Mode]).
• In the case where you cannot connect the instrument to the host computer, you can set and
analyze the sample on the tracks with specific analysis parameters.

• The order on the track sample cannot be edited on the IPU.
