AutoSampler8
The AutoSampler8 section provides access to monitoring and control functions for AutoSampler8 Modules.
Connected Modules
Define how many AutoSampler8 Modules are connected.
- Select the number using How Many
- Press Save to confirm
This setting is required for proper communication.
Data Request
Used to retrieve data from a specific AutoSampler8 Module.
Available options:
- Module Address – Select which Module to query
- Single Request – Requests data once
- Live Reading – Enables continuous updates
Live Readings
Displays available Module values in real time.
Shown values may include:
- Raw readings
- Converted values (if available)
Live reading is intended for verification and diagnostics, not continuous operation.
Advanced
The Advanced tab contains configuration and calibration options specific to the AutoSampler8 module.
These settings affect internal behavior and should only be changed when required.
Module Address
Select the address of the AutoSampler8 module to configure.
This is required when multiple modules are connected.
Pump Speed
Used to view and adjust pump speeds.
Available actions:
- Get Speeds – reads the currently stored values
- Set – applies a new speed value
Separate settings are available for:
- Peristaltic pump
- Diaphragm pump
Pump speed adjustments directly affect sampling behavior.
Calibration
Used to calibrate internal variables such as Volume.
Calibration is performed using reference points:
- Select the calibration Point (e.g. Low)
- Enter the Real value
- Save the point
- Apply calibration
Calibration should be performed under controlled conditions and verified before field deployment.
Manual
The Manual tab provides direct control over valves and pumps of the AutoSampler8.
This mode is typically used for:
- Setup verification
- Maintenance
- Debugging during installation
Valve Switch
Select the Module Address and manually control:
- Individual valve positions
- Peristaltic pump (on / off)
- Membrane pump (on / off)
Each valve position can be opened or closed independently.
Manual control bypasses automation logic and should be used with care.
