Table 2 2 Program Variables Options (Apparatus 3 / 7)
Option Function
1 Set APP 3/7 Parameters Use this option to set the Apparatus 3 / 7 parameters. Select option 1, Set APP 3/7
Parameters. The Set APP 3/7 Parameters screen displays. See “Main Menu Option 2 -
Set DISSO” on page 53 for a description of the Set APP 3/7 Parameters screen options.
2 Sample Time Points Use this option to enter the sample time points. See “Program Option 2 - Sample Time
Points” on page 90.
3 Sample Volume Select option 3, Sample Volume. Enter the sample volume in milliliters and press
ENTER. The Program Variables screen displays. You can enter the volume with up to
three digits (for example 13.5) so that fractional milliliters can be collected. Verify the
collection tubes can hold the requested volume.
Note: The maximum volume accepted is 14 mL.
4 Headers Select option 4, Headers. The Batch # Selections screen displays. For each option, enter
the desired information and press ENTER. The Program Variables screen displays.
Note: The Batch # Selections screen displays options for the report header information.
The print field accepts ten characters. Characters can be letters, numbers, special
characters, or spaces. The information entered for each selection prints in the header of
each printout. The entries made from this menu are attached to the active program.
Since there are 15 programs, there can be a different set of entries for each. All are
stored in the battery-protected memory and remain until changed via this menu.
5 Prime Time (peristaltic
pump)
If your system configuration includes the peristaltic pump, use this option to set the
interval the peristaltic pump runs forward, drawing medium into the system, before the
valves open to deliver samples.
Select option 5, Prime Time. Enter a value for the priming time from 1 to 99 seconds
and press ENTER. The Program Variables screen displays.
Note: At a minimum, the prime time should be long enough for medium to be seen
dripping from the return cannulas. In general, the longer the tubing lengths, the longer
the priming time required.
5 Prime Volume (syringe
pump)
If your system configuration includes the syringe pump, use this option to set the
amount of drawn medium necessary to fill the sampling lines of the entire system.
Select option 5, Prime Volume. Enter a value for the priming volume and press
ENTER. The Program Variables screen displays.
Note: At a minimum, the prime volume should be large enough for medium to be seen
dripping from the return cannulas. In general, the longer the tubing lengths, the larger
the prime volume required.
