3700 Standard and 3700 Compact Sampler
Figures 17, 18, and 19 charts the structure of the
Extended Programming Mode. The charts are provided to act as a “map” to the programming process. Both charts are divided into sections —
Sample Pacing, Sample Distribution, Sample Volume, and Key Times — which correspond to the
steps listed in the procedure discussed below. Each
chart contains the input displays used in the
sequence. The input displays on each chart are
labeled with their display number so they can be
cross-referenced with the listing found in Appendix C.
Military Times - You must enter times in military
format: To set the sampler’s clock to 3:30 PM, enter
a time of 15:30. When the display above first
appears, the first two digits, “12,” will blink. To
enter a new time, type in the new hour: “15.”
Store the hour entry and advance to minutes by
pressing the enter/program key. If you do not need
to change the month or year entry, accept the entry
by pressing the right arrow or enter/program key.
Use the left arrow key to return to a previous position. Press the right arrow or enter/program key on
the last entry, “91,” to store the value and advance
to the next display.
As noted earlier, Isco ships the sampler with a test
program and factory configuration settings. The
examples in this manual assume that you are
using all factory settings, and that the sampler will
use the 24-bottle base and a 10-foot length of 3/8inch vinyl suction line. The settings shipped with
your 3700 include the size of bottle ordered and the
size, type, and length of suction line. When you
check the configuration settings, be sure the settings match your equipment, not the example.
European Date Format - The sampler uses the
European date format where the day precedes the
month’s three-letter abbreviation. To enter a date,
enter the day before the month’s number, and the
year. The sampler converts the numeric entry to
the three-letter abbreviation for you.
Exit Program Key - The user can exit an input
display by pressing the exit program key. If you use
the exit program key, it will not alter the currently
stored setting.
Most program and configure settings can be reinitialized to factory settings, if desired. Table 7 lists
the factory settings. The Run Diagnostics section
discusses the reinitialize option.
Programming Examples - The following examples demonstrate the steps used to check the configure option settings and to program the sampler
for several different sampling routines. The programming examples in this manual present each
display in the order in which they appear on the
sampler. They are designed to provide you with
step-by-step procedures and are provided as models for you to use later when programming the
sampler for your “real” applications. Each programming example concludes with the run-state
displays that appear while that routine is being
executed. You can use the run-state displays to
monitor the sampler’s progress through a routine.
Basic Programming Procedure - The steps for
programming the sampler in basic mode follow the
procedure outlined below.
1. Turn on the sampler with the ON/OFF key. The
sampler always “wakes up” in the standby state.
The “STANDBY” message will appear. If the
sampler is turned off while running a routine,
the “PROGRAM HALTED” message will be displayed. Both messages indicate the sampler is
in standby.
2. Press the ENTER/PROGRAM key to access the
interactive state. Select “program.” Refer to Figure 15 for displays noted in Steps 3 to 6.
To return to a previous display when programming the sampler, press the exit program key.
The sampler will return to standby. Press the
ENTER/PROGRAM key again to reenter the interactive state. Continue to press the ENTER/PROGRAM key to scroll through the displays until
you locate the display in question.
3. Enter the Sample Pacing settings. The sampler
will prompt you to select either time- or flowpacing. Depending on your selection, you will
then be prompted to enter the time- or flowpulse interval between samples.
Examples 2 through 6 illustrate the basic programming sequence. Because many of the features
of the extended programming mode are affected by
selections made in the configure sequence, examples for the extended programming sequence follow the section Foreign Languages and Metric
Units of Measure. We recommend you become
familiar with the basic programming mode procedure and examples before using the extended programming mode. Most of the procedures used in
the extended programming mode duplicate those
of the basic mode and are not repeated in the
extended programming procedures section.
Flow charts accompany examples for both programming modes. These charts diagram the program sequence structure for each mode. Figure 15
charts the Basic Programming Mode structure.
