3.14 Silo memory for sample data
In the silo memory or pushup storage, sample data (method, identifications and smpl
size) can be stored. This is useful, e.g. when you work with Sample Changers and other
automatic sample addition systems or if you wish an overview of your determination
results, see page 50.
Press the key <SILO> for working with the silo
memory. The status LED "silo" is on when the silo
memory is switched on. The silo memory works by the
FIFO principle (First In, First Out).
If the silo memory is switched on, sample data are routed to the last free line of the silo
memory. If no new value is put in, the value from the last line is automatically copied. In
this manner, data can be simply taken over when they remain unchanged.
When the instrument is started, the sample data are fetched from the next silo line.
Organization of the silo memory
Silo memory contains 35 lines.
Next free line is 36
6 of the 35 lines have been proc-
essed. Free lines from 36 to 255 and
from 1 to 6.
1 silo line needs between 18 and 120 bytes memory capacity.
Filling the silo memory with a connected balance
If the silo memory is filled from the balance, you must ensure that there is sufficient space
in the silo memory for the required number of silo lines! The number of free bytes is given
in the user memory report.
When the sample data are entered from a balance, the transfer of the sample size is
taken as the end of the silo line. You should not send data from the balance and edit the
silo memory at the same time.
For mixed operation, manual input of identifications and sample sizes from a balance, the
values from the balance are sent into the line in which editing just takes place. Confirm
the data with <ENTER> at the Coulometer.
