Counting Samples
Conducting Count Single Rack

NOTE If your samples have already been placed in the sample changer, you may simply press START after
selecting Automatic Counting on the Main Menu.
During Automatic Count, pressing the two RESET keys simultaneously terminates the
counting process and returns the LS to Standby. The STOP COUNT key is used to terminate
the counting of the current sample. The system prints the data accumulated up to the time of
termination and advances to the next sample. Counting continues. The Halt Rack
automatically terminates counting after all the samples are counted.
Data is printed and/or transmitted to the RS232 port depending on the User Program setup
for Output Formats. Typical print-outs for each data calculation program are shown in
Section 5. For more information on the printout parameters, refer to Output Formats Section
4.
To temporarily use the instrument during Automatic Count, press SELECT. The system is in
the Multi-Task mode. You may count a small batch of samples, edit or review a User Program,
or manually set up a new isotope or quench curve. Refer to Section 3.5 for more information
on Multi-Task. You may also count samples during Automatic Counting using the
INTERRUPT key. Pressing the INTERRUPT key presents the Count Single Rack Menu shown
in Figure 3.9. Refer to the instructions in Interrupt Count in Multi-Task Section 3 for
conducting an Interrupt Count.
3.3 Conducting Count Single Rack
Count Single Rack is especially useful for counting a single sample such as a blank standard
or a reference standard, or a few experimental samples (up to one rack). A count of the
sample can be obtained using a default program or a User Program.
