In the Bottle Filling dialog box, you specify the amount of liquid in the solvent bottles, and specify the action to be taken when the level gets too low.
The parameters are in two sections:
In the Solvent Bottles Filling section, you specify the capacity of the solvent bottle(s), and the current volume in each bottle. Each solvent bottle has two fields:
Enter the capacity of the solvent bottle (in liters) in the Total Volume field. The maximum value is 100.00.
Enter the amount of the solvent currently in the solvent bottle (in liters) in the Actual Volume field. The maximum value of the Actual Volume is the Total Volume of the bottle.
The Actual Volume field is updated as the solvent is used. When you fill the solvent bottles, enter the new actual volume of each solvent bottle in the appropriate Actual Volume field.
No direct measurement of the levels in the solvent bottles is done; the amount remaining is calculated by the amount of solvent used, and the Actual Volume set. |
In the Actions section, you specify the action to be taken if the solvent level falls too low.
Mark the Prevent analysis if level falls below check box, and enter a threshold in the field to ensure that the pump generates a Not Ready condition if the calculated solvent bottle filling level falls below the set threshold. The current run is completed, but the sequence will not continue with the next analysis.
Mark the Turn pump off if running out of solvent check box to ensure that the pump generates an error if the calculated solvent bottle filling level is zero. The error is recorded in the logbook, the analysis is stopped immediately and the pump is switched off.
