Results at limit errors

When this option is set to YES and this limit error occurs, results will be printed/send to the LIMS. Together with the sedimentation time and dilution rate (which are still printed at the usual position), the operator/analyst can see what caused the error and may or may not use the ESR values which are preserved in the error message.

When this option is set to NO and this limit error occurs, the fields for 30 min ESR, 60 min ESR and the temperature corrected ESR are filled with spaces and thus results are not printed/send to the LIMS.

The error message in the error field (line D) indicates that at least one of the limits (ESR time, dilution rate or column height) has been exceeded.

Description of the error message L_err(hhh/www/ttt/ccc) :

• L_err means it is a "limit error"
• hhh is the 30 minutes ESR
• www is the 60 minute ESR
• ttt is the temperature corrected 60 minute result
• ccc is the column height

Example of a limit error message:

• L_err( 42/ 84/ 75/200) means 42 mm in the 30 minute method and temperature correction 75 with a correct column height.
• L_err(---/ 84/ 75/200) means 84 mm in the 60 minute method and temperature correction 75 with a correct column height.

Note: If limit error filters in the LIMS are not corresponding with the limit error settings on the instrument it is possible that not all expected results are send to the LIMS.
