Subwindow Run 125
• Check device (module) and rack
Checks whether the devices (or device types), modules (e.g. measuring in-
puts, towers, etc.) and racks demanded in the device-specific commands
are present and available or assigned. If the device has not yet been as-
signed in a command then the window
Device assignment appears for as-
signing the device.
• Check solutions
Checks whether the solutions demanded in the device-specific commands
are present and available.
• Check sensors
Checks whether the sensors demanded in the device-specific commands
are present and available.
• Check sample data
Checks whether the entered sample data corresponds to that defined in
method variables and is valid.
Note
The Start test for the number of lines defined under Autostart can also be trig-
gered manually in the READY status with the menu items Tools, Run test or Sam-
ple table, Run test .
4 - Preconditioning (only for methods with conditioning)
In methods that contain commands with switched-on conditioning and in which
the option
Automatic conditioning is switched on in the START command then pre-
conditioning will start for all these commands. Preconditioning does not belong to
the determination itself and does not increase any counter (
Sample number or Sta-
tistics ).
• Conditioning requirement not fulfilled
After the start of preconditioning the status changes to
COND BUSY . In this
status conditioning can be interrupted with [Hold] and continued with
[Cont] . If an error occurs during conditioning then neither the Error track nor
the Exit track will be carried out.
• Conditioning requirement fulfilled
If the conditioning requirement has been fulfilled the status changes to
COND READY and the method then starts automatically.
5 - Start method
At the start of the method the following checks and actions are triggered:
• Assign determination ID
An unambiguous determination ID is assigned for the determination.
• Reserve device (module)
The devices (or their functional units) used by the device-dependent com-
mands contained in the method are reserved for the duration of the deter-
mination, i.e. they cannot be used in other workplaces nor can they be op-
erated manually.
• Increment sample number
The
Sample number is increased by +1 .
• Increment statistics counter
If statistics has been switched on in both the
START command and on the
tab Determination series then the statistics counter will be increased by +1 . If
a new method is loaded or if the statistics counter agrees with the set
counter then the current statistical data will first be deleted and the statistics
counter reset to
0 .
