Script File
This designates the current script file name. It is identical to that shown in the Repeated Scans tab. All temp/titrator scripts have the .ols file extension.
Execute Line
Clicking on this button results in a prompt asking which line of the script to execute. Choose the line and press 'OK' to that line being executed. The syringes will move, but no data will be collected.
Execute Script
This button causes the entire script to be executed. The syringes will move, but no data will be collected without additional input.
Select Script
This button allows the user to select a valid titration script for script format information). Changing the script in this window will change it in the others as well.
View/Print Script
This button allows the user to open the script for editing or printing. Do not attempt to change the "Default Titrator.osf" script as it is a read only file and is necessary as a backup, valid script file.
Com Port Number
Ensure that this number matches the com port number that the titrator is actually using.
Syringe Size (uL)
Ensure that the syringe size in this display matches the actual syringe size for the selected syringe. To select a syringe, click on the syringe control on the desired syringe. The text box below the syringe will become yellow, indicating it has been selected. Changing the syringe size changes the size of only the selected syringe; it has nothing to do with volumes.
Calibrate Syringe
These buttons initiate a calibration procedure. To calibrate, the syringe fills completely until a sensor is reached, whereupon the syringes empty. It is important to have the valve in 'Fill' position and have enough sample in the fill syringe. If samples are precious, it is important that calibration is done using water or buffer. 'Calibrate Selected' only calibrates the selected syringe, while 'Calibrate All' (Shortcut 'S') initiates the calibration procedure for all syringes.
Park Syringe
When one of these buttons is pressed the syringe(s) fills (or empties) to half full. 'Park Selected' parks only the selected syringe, while 'Park All' moves all of them.
Rinse Syringe
Rinsing the syringe(s) involves alternating filling and emptying the syringe(s). The user is prompted with the number of desired rinses (1-99). It is important to have the valve in 'Fill' position and have enough sample in the fill syringe. If samples are precious, it is important that calibration is done using water or buffer 'Rinse Selected' rinses only the selected syringe, while 'Rinse All' initiates the procedure for all of them.
Fill Syringe
These buttons cause the syringe(s) to completely fill . It is important to have the valve in 'Fill' position and have enough sample in the fill syringe. If samples are precious, it is important that calibration is done using water or buffer 'Fill Selected' rinses only the selected syringe, while 'Fill All' initiates the procedure for all of them.
Empty Syringe
These buttons cause the syringe(s) to completely empty. It is important to have the valve in the desired position so the contents of the syringe are not inappropriately expelled. If samples are precious, it is important that calibration is done using water or buffer 'Empty Selected' rinses only the selected syringe, while 'Empty All' initiates the procedure for all of them.
Syringe Control
This control allows the user to manually manipulate the syringe volume. The current volume is displayed in the Current Volume Box at the bottom of each virtual syringe. This volume can be changed by entering in a new value (in uL) or dragging the sidebar control to the desired approximate volume. Filling of the syringe is graphically illustrated by the blue fill.
