Monitor
Run Status
The status On will be displayed when the ASM 2.1L is ready to run
(pump is found, valves have been initialized, detector lamp is on). The
status On is also shown, if a Pretreatment is running (please refer to
Pretreatment section on page 89). During a run the status Run and the
current run time in minutes will be shown. The Off status will be shown, if
no connection with the ASM 2.1L can be established or if the detector
lamp is switched off.
Events (Digital Outputs)
The current state for each Event (Digital Output) will be displayed in this
control. The On state is represented by a red active Light Emission Diode
LED symbol ( ), the Off state, including waiting for pulse, is represented
by an inactive grey LED symbol ( ).
Pump
The left-handed part of the Pump section shows the pump status as flow
in ml/min and pressure (depending on the selected unit in MPa, bar or
psi).
