3.16.7 Start and stop options

Under Method options/Start/Stop options you can switch various

start and stop options on and off.
Under [Start options] you can switch off the Method check, which is

carried out automatically after the START of a determination. This

avoids delays after the START. The Method check verifies whether all

devices, titrants and sensors which are necessary for the run are

present and whether monitoring intervals for the titrants and sensors

used have expired.

Note!

We recommend that you only switch

Method check off when the

titration must be started directly after the START of the determination.

For example, this is the case with

very rapid reactions such as

enzyme-catalyzed reactions. Otherwise the determination sequence

could be interrupted because e. g. devices, titrants or sensors are not

present and available for the determination. Even if the Method check

is switched off then the monitoring intervals for titrants and sensors will

be checked during the run anyway.

If a USB Sample Processor is used then you can choose whether the

rack is to be reset (see Section 4.12.4) at the start of a method or not.

With Check rack you can select a rack that must be present when the

rack is reset. If a different rack is found then a corresponding error

message will be produced. In this way you can make sure that a

method is only carried out with this particular rack. If the sample

variable at the end of a determination is not to be automatically

increased by the value 1 then you can switch off the function Increase

sample variable automatically. This is important if, for example, you

want to selectively influence the sample variable by using the SAMPLE

command (see Section 4.12.5). If the rack position of the first sample

should be requested at the start of the method then activate the

parameter Request rack position at start.
Under [Stop options] you can switch the actions on and off that are

to be taken when a method is stopped. A method can be stopped in

the following ways:
