Terminology
The terms manual and automatic are used
throughout this book to describe the DSC
Autosampler CEs two modes of operation. In
manual mode, the Autosampler CE does not
need to communicate with the controller and is
controlled directly through its own keypad. In
automatic mode, all Autosampler CE operations
are supervised by the controller (see the Ther-
mal Solutions/Advantage User Reference
Guide for information on the automatic mode).
Once the Autosampler CE is in automatic mode,
it can be in one of two states:
Online (remote), in which the controller is
correctly hooked up to the Autosampler CE
and turned on.
Offline (local), in which the controller is not
connected to the Autosampler CE or is
turned off. When the Autosampler CE is
offline, it cannot communicate with the
controller.
When the Autosampler CE is in manual mode,
you can use the Autosampler CE keypad to:
Calibrate the Autosampler CE
Load and unload the DSC cell
Remove and replace the lids on the DSC
cell
Run diagnostic tests.
