The Cycle Pans Test
The Cycle Pans test loads and unloads pans
from the tray to the DSC cell to test the calibra-
tion of the Autosampler CEs tray and cell pan
positions.
1. Access the Autosampler CE keypad by
loosening the captive thumbscrews on the
keypad cover and tilting the cover down.
2. Press the TEST key two times. The Auto-
sampler CE screen displays:
Test
Cycle Pans
3. Press ENTER to select the test displayed on
the screen. The Autosampler CE begins
loading the pan in tray position #1 into the
cell reference position, as indicated on the
screen:
Cycle Pans 0001
Loading Ref.
The number in the upper right of the screen
is a counter indicating how many pans have
been cycled. Each time a new pan is loaded
from the tray, the counter increases by one.
The Autosampler CE continues loading and
unloading pans, going through all positions in
the tray, until you stop the test (step 4). Each
time it fills the cell, it places the lids on the
cell. It then removes the lids, removes the
pans, and begins another cycle.
