4.6.5 Stopping the Monitor System
The user may stop the sampling functions for all vessels simultaneously or each vessel individually. The procedure shown
below defines the steps for stopping vessels individually.
1. Select Home tab.
2. Highlight the Vessel Tiles which correspond to the vessels to be stopped.
3. Select Stop.
4. The vessel tile color will change to red.
5. Once the vessel sampling cycle and data acquisition functions are completed, the vessel tile color will
change to
blue. The blue color signals that the sampling cycle has been successfully deactivated.
4.6.6 Starting a Priority Sample
If multiple vessels are actively sampling but a user would like to take a sample from a single vessel immediately,
before the other vessels have been sampled, the Sample Now function can be used to issue a priority sample.
Priority samples add to the current queue of vessels but do not replace. For example, if the Multi-Channel Online
Monitor was configured to sample Vessels 1, 2, 3 and 4 in a sequential rotation starting with Vessel 1 and a priority
sample was triggered for Vessel 4 while Vessel 2 was actively being sampled, the resulting sample sequence
would be: Vessel 2, Vessel 4, Vessel 3, Vessel 4, Vessel 1, Vessel 2, Vessel 3, Vessel 4 (continued until Stop
commands were issued). The procedure shown below defines the steps for triggering a priority sample for a single
vessel.
1. Select Home tab
2. Highlight the Vessel Tiles which correspond to the vessels to be triggered with a priority sample.
3. Select Sample Now.
4. The vessel tile color will stay Yellow. The vessel selected will be sampled immediately following the
current vessel if a vessel is actively being sampled.
4.6.7 Scheduler Sampling
The Scheduler function allows the user to easily create and modify customized sampling profiles tailored for each
phase of the monitored process. Additionally, these profiles can be saved and used for future process monitoring
or further modified to meet the user’s unique needs.
4.6.7.1 Adding and Creating Profiles
Before scheduling sampling profiles, some general considerations should be regarded. First, the user should
define the profile duration, the number of steps, or cycles, required, the duration of each cycle and the type of
functions needed for each cycle.
Second, a profile must have at least one cycle. However, there is no limit as to the number of cycles that can be
programmed into a profile. Each cycle may employ its own unique combination of sampling parameters.
Lastly, any of these variables may be modified before or during the operation of the Multi-Channel Online Monitor.
