6.1.1 Special characteristics of two-basket programs
In one-basket programs, for every processing
station a different infiltration time can be selected.
However, in two-basket programs infiltration time
is the same for every processing station. Basket
no. 1 starts in station no. 2 and basket no. 2 starts
to be processed in station no. 1.
If a one-basket program is modified into a
two-basket program by adding a basket, the
instrument automatically selects station No. 2 as
starting container. At the same time, the container
times are automatically set to the dwell time of the
displayed station. These changes alter the previ-
ous one-basket program permanently.
If the second basket is deleted, the starting con-
tainer for container station 2 and the infiltration
times remain at the same value. They have to be
reentered as desired for each individual station.
