You must first enter the configuration details for

your 402 Dilutor-Dispenser. Then you may do one

of three things:
(i) Perform a direct manipulation (Prime, Measure,

Titrate).

(ii) Run a prefabricated Method (files 90 - 94).
(iii) Create your own Method.

A Method consists of a file saved in the 402’s

memory, which can hold up to 99 files. Each file

will contain one or more of the following tasks:

Dilute (Dil), Dispense (Disp), Pipette (Pip), Rinse,

and Mix. You can use Link to combine Methods so

that they operate sequentially.

Each task consists of a series of instructions and

parameters. Some of the parameters may be

defined as in-run prompts (entered as a question

mark); in which case you are prompted to enter the

variable’s value each time you run the Method. To

make and run a Method file, you must follow the

procedures 1 to 5.

Each procedure is

activated by pressing

the appropriate soft-

key, each of which

gives access to a

specific menu. The

RUN key only appears

after you have saved

your Method (i.e. after

having entered the

tasks and parameters).

In carrying out these procedures, you must observe

some general rules.
