[Event Count]

Running samples

Select the [Stop Condition] checkbox for stopping acquisition when the
specified number of events has been collected within the specified gate.

[Stop Condition]

The drop-down menu displays all gates that have been set for the sample.
If there are no gates created in the plots, only [Ungated] appears. Select
the gate you want to use as the stop condition.

[Event Count]

The [Event Count] field allows you to enter a number between 1 and
5,000,000.

[Time]

Select the [Stop Time] checkbox to stop acquisition when the specified
period of time has elapsed.

[Stop Time]

The [Seconds] field allows you to enter a number between 5 and 1,800.
The maximum stop time (seconds) you can define depends on the
selected flow rate and required volume. For details, see the table below.

Both minimum and maximum stop times are automatically displayed next
to [Seconds], based on the selected flow rate and sample volume.
If you reselect either flow rate or required volume, these numbers
automatically reflect the latest conditions.
If the defined stop time does not match the range, it is automatically
adjusted to either minimum or maximum allowable seconds, displaying a
dialog box to inform of the change.

Information
If multiple stop conditions are selected, the acquisition ends when any one of the selected stop conditions
is met.
