CHAPTER 5
Operating the
Classifier
This chapter describes how to operate the Classifier using the
control knob and LCD display.
Display and Menus
The Classifier is controlled primarily through the multifunction
control knob and the display on the front of the instrument. Refer
to Table 5-1 to experiment with the control knob.
Table 5-1
Control Knob Functions
To move the cursor
around
Turn the control knob until the item you wish
to change has been highlighted. Press the
control knob into the panel to select that
item. Turn the knob again to modify the item
and then press the knob again to store the
setting.
To choose menu items Select the menu item in the bottom center of
the screen using the method described above.
Items with a ļ symbol on the right indicate
further options. Pushing the control knob will
allow you to change those items by rotating
the knob. Push again to store the setting.
Scroll to the very bottom or top and choose
Exit to leave the menu.
Knob Adjustment Fine adjustment of the control knob (that is,
moving from one selection to the next) is best
accomplished using the outer edge of the
knob. Faster movement (that is, setting a
voltage) is best accomplished using your
index finger and the dimple in the knob.
Rotating the knob after the instrument has first been powered up
highlights the various panes in the display window. The panes are
rotated from Menu to Panel or Analog Ctrl, to Sheath Flow Rate, to
DMA-Voltage, to Particle Diameter, to the Multifunction Pane and
then back to Menu in a clockwise fashion.
