3.19 Sample data
If you wish to process single samples then you can enter the
identifications and sample sizes for the current sample directly in the
main dialog. You can also program an automatic sample data
request during the determination sequence with a REQUEST
command. If you are processing sample series then it is a good idea
to use the sample data silo. The sample data silo is a table in which
you can store the identifications, sample size and method with which
the sample is to be processed for up to 999 samples.
3.19.1 Sample data input in the main dialog
You can enter the sample data for the sample which is to be
processed with the next START of a determination (current sample) in
the main dialog. You can always access the main dialog with the
[Home] fixed key. The sample data in the main dialog can also be
entered "live", i.e. while a determination is running (see Section 3.20.5).
Under Identification 1 and Identification 2 you can enter
sample-specific data.
The sample identifications can be calculated as the variables CI1 and
CI2 (see Section 4.5.7). The labels of the sample identifications can be
edited specifically for the method (see Section 3.16.6). Under
System/Templates/Sample data you can create a sample
identification list. You can then make a selection from this template
when entering the identifications. This simplifies the input of frequently
used texts for the identification. You can also enter the identifications
with the aid of a barcode reader or send them from a connected
balance. With Touch Control we recommend the connection of a PC
keyboard if long texts are to be entered as identifications.
Enter the value and unit for the sample size.
This value can be calculated as the variable C00 (see Section 4.5.7).
The sample size unit can either be selected from a list or entered
directly. You can also send the sample size from a connected balance
(see Section 3.10.8). You can define the sample size unit or a fixed
sample size in the method (see Section 3.16.6). The sample size unit
