5.2 Control Multi-Storage Chamber: Navigator software

Starting from the main ‘Navigator’ program, the icon allows switching from the sample holder to the storage chamber panel as shown in below.

5.2.1 Tools

The tool menu includes several commands (Refer to the figure below):

- Init All: the init all function initializes all storage chamber parameters as the sample holder rotation tower and the rode position.

♦ Init Rod: Initialize only the rode position.

- Start baking: To turn on the sample baking system.

- Stop baking: To stop the sample holder baking system.

♦ Abort Load/Unload: To abort Load/Unload command

♦ Maintenance: Use for maintenance purpose

- Go to load position, move to InOut, Goto transfer, Stop Rotation, Stop Rod: all these functions can be used for troubleshooting.

- Counter: this function memorizes the number of transfers from the Storage Chamber to the Analyse Sample Chamber.

This tools menu is normally used for maintenance or repair purpose, it is not used for normal utilization by customer. That is why certain functions are not available in normal mode.
