SECTION 12 – ACCESSORIES
When the PC software is connected to the instrument it will communicate with the instrument to find
out if there is an active accessory fitted. The automated 8 cell changer, sipper pump, peltier and
combined peltier sipper pump can be controlled using the PC software.
To open the control for the accessory click on the
Accessories tab on the toolbar at the top of the
screen and select the required accessory.
If an accessory is selected which isn’t connected
a warning sign will be shown.
12.1 Automatic 8 cell turret
Ensure that all the samples are loaded into the turret with a blank sample in position zero. Close the
instrument lid and open the measurement mode that is required.
To open the control for the accessory click on the
Accessories tab on the toolbar at the top of the
screen and click on the 8 cell turret accessory.
Click in the circle adjacent to the position which
holds the sample to be measured. The turret will
automatically move to that position. This control
is a floating control so it can remain open and
other commands can be sent to the instrument.
When all the samples have been measured click
on the Close button.
12.2 Sipper pump
The sipper pump can be operated in manual or timed mode. In the timed mode there is a calibration
sequence which must be programmed before use.
