PARALLEL RATE MEASUREMENTS
The 7 Cell Programmer can be used in conjunction with the RATE software to
measure between 2 and 7 cells in parallel.
For the Cell Programmer to be used it must be ON with MODE set to AUTO.
The RATE METHOD setup and MANIPULATE functions are exactly the same
except that the MEASURE TIME now sets the time between each cycle, i.e. the
length of time between measurements on the first cell. The number of
measurements taken on each cell is set by the CELL CYCLES parameter on the
cell programmer page. The total time over which the measurements are made is
the result of the time between measurements (MEASURE TIME) and the number
of measurements (CELL CYCLES). For example an analysis using 4 cells with
MEASURE TIME set to 15 seconds and CELL CYCLES set to 20 would give a total
measurement time of 5 minutes.
To set up a parallel rate method do the following:
Set up the method as normal on the RATE PARAMETERS page.
Note that MEASURE TIME specifies the time between each measurement on the
first cell.
Go to the Cell Programmer page. Press HOME then ACCESSORIES and select
CELL PROG.
Set up the cell programmer method as required.
Return to the RATE PARAMETERS page, press ZERO/BASE to zero the
instrument (if required) then press RUN.
The analysis will proceed with the rate graph for the first cell being drawn on
screen.
To view the result of any other cell press MANIPULATE on the RATE GRAPH page
and select ANOTHER CELL. The cell number currently displayed is shown to the
right of the ID: line.
To print the results press PRINT on either the RATE GRAPH page or the RATE
RESULTS page.
Three further print options are available: ALL OVERLAY, ALL SEQUENTIAL, and
ONE RESULT.
