UTOSAMPLER
CE 3–15
Stopping the
Autosampler CE
Three keys on the Autosampler CE keypad
enable you to suspend and resume Autosampler
CE motion: the HALT key, the RESUME key,
and the RESET SAMPLER key.
The HALT Key
The HALT key affects only the motion of the
Autosampler CE turret assembly; any currently
running heating or cooling method on the control-
ler continues. After you press the HALT key,
you can resume action with the Autosampler CE
RESUME key. The Autosampler CE then
completes the task that was interrupted.
When the Autosampler CE is in manual mode,
you can use the motion keys to move the turret
assembly while it is halted without canceling the
previous command. However, if you press any
of the following keys while the Autosampler CE
is halted, the previous command is forgotten:
ESCAPE/CLEAR
MANUAL/AUTOMATIC
RESET SAMPLER
If you press ESCAPE/CLEAR after halting
the Autosampler CE and then enter a new
command before pressing the RESUME key,
the new command is executed when you press
RESUME.
