Chapter 12

Running samples

12.2.4 Status checking and control during measurement
In the status area, you can check the status of acquisition and control measurement while measurement is in
progress.
For details on the status area, see the following:
(➤P.57 "Chapter 8: 8.5.2 Status area")

12.2.5 Settings that can be changed during measurement
If you are using the sample tube holder to run the sample, the following areas are enabled at the start of
acquisition, and you can adjust settings during acquisition:
• Threshold
(➤P.162 "12.2.1 Setting acquisition conditions")
• Gain/PMT
(➤P.162 "12.2.1 Setting acquisition conditions")
If any of the above settings are changed while particles are being acquired, data acquired up to that point will
be discarded.
You can also make the following changes in the workarea:
- Add plots, gates, and statistics tables
- Change plots, gates, and statistics tables*
- Perform a manual compensation
* If [Event Count] is selected as a stop condition, you can still change the gate selected as [Stop Condition], its
parent gate, and the plots which contain these gates, but cannot delete the gate or the plot containing the
gate.
In the above case:
- The run will be stopped when it meets the changed conditions.
- If the stop conditions are met immediately after the change has been made and the run has been stopped,
the number of acquired events will be displayed on the plot.

Note:
• The above settings cannot be changed if you are using the auto loader to run the samples.
• This operation is not available if the user’s role is [Operator].

Running a sample

12.3.1 Running samples with the auto loader (auto loader analysis)

Caution
Verify that measurement conditions are appropriate for running the samples.
There is a risk of inaccurate results and data analysis that requires additional measurement if the
conditions are not set properly.
