• Check solutions
Checks whether the solutions demanded in the device-specific com-
mands are present and available.
• Check sensors
Checks whether the sensors demanded in the device-specific com-
mands 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 trigge-
red manually in the READY status with the menu items Tools, Run test or Sample
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
commands contained in the method are reserved for the duration of
the determination, i.e. they cannot be used in other workplaces nor
can they be operated 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 .
