SAMPLE SETUP

A Sample ID, Customer ID, User Name (Login) can be enabled so that a grain sample is identified and saved with this information each time a test is performed.

1. At the System Setup screen, press the the More button until the

Sample Setup button appears.

2. Enable the check box of desired ID’s required when running samples.


Prompt for Sample ID

The Sample ID screen step can be hidden so that the screen does not appear during analyzation. If a sample or customer ID is required, “Prompt for Sample ID”, should be checked.

Prompt for Sample ID can be enabled even when a sample or customer ID is not required so the screen appears during analyzation giving the option to include either of these ID’s.

– Enable when a sample or customer ID are required entries before analyzation. A sample ID will be associated with each grain test and prints to ticket.

– Disable to eliminate the Sample ID screen before each analyzation

Sequence Sample ID

Automatic number sequencing to the next higher number will occur with additional tests of the same grain. Sequence Sample ID default is enabled.

Customer ID Required

Requires a Customer ID to be associated with each grain test and prints to ticket. Customer ID default is disabled.

User Login Required

A User Login requires a tester to login with a user name at the Main Menu screen before grain can be analyzed. If a user login is required, the user name entered at the User Login screen is recorded in the unit’s database and prints on the print ticket. The User button only appears on the Main

Menu screen when enabled. User Login default is disabled.

Automatic Measure When Hopper is Full

Instrument automatically proceeds to measure a sample when the hopper is full eliminating the need to press the Initiate button (green).

– Enable this feature to automate the measuring process. If a Sample

ID or Customer ID is required, analysis automatically starts at the

Sample ID screen. After the ID requirement is met, the measurement automatically starts.

– Disable this feature to require a manual response at each analysis screen.

Enter button after each test.

Empty Drawer Requirement

A forced empty of the drawer requires a sample dump before proceeding to the next analysis.

Bottomless Drawer in Use

Must be enabled when the bottomless drawer style is used with a flow-through counter to prevent an empty drawer caution from occurring when running tests.

– Grain can also be tested without the grain drawer secured in the unit when Bottomless Drawer in Use is enabled; however, a Drawer

Ignored screen appears each time a test is performed and will only proceed to perform test when the Initiate button is pressed.

Display Test Weight and Temperature

Displays the test weight and temperature on the Results screen for each test. Both features are defaulted to enabled.
