Tap on the check box to activate or deactivate the function.3. Tap to save the new setting.7.1.3 Capillary Filling ModeIn this submenu you can choose between manual capillary filling outside the Loviscapillary block and flow-through capillary filling by syringe (or with an Xsample –refer to p. 110, SECTION II : Flow-Through Systems).The Lovis capillary block assumes the position set in this submenu as homeposition. It goes to this position after activating the instrument and after everymeasurement.• By default, Lovis 2000 M/ME is set to manual filling. In this position the angleof the Lovis capillary block is -45°.• The position for flow-through filling is +20°. The front end of the Loviscapillary block is lower than the back end. During filling, potential air bubblescan rise with the liquid flow and can easily leave the capillary again.1. Tap "Menu > Setup > Measuring System Settings > Lovis Module >Capillary Filling Mode".2.
