13 Click [OK].
Measurement starts. During analysis, the auto loader analysis status indicator LED blinks green.

Note:
If there is less than 50 GB of available space on the hard disk drive, a warning dialog box will be displayed
at the start of measurement.

If you wish to measure an urgent sample during auto loader measurement:
Press the mode switch to pause auto loader measurement and switch to manual measurement once
measurement of the sample tube currently being measured is complete.
Then create an urgent sample workitem and measure it manually.
For details, see the following:
(➤P.173 "Chapter 12: 12.3.2 Running a sample with the sample tube holder (manual analysis)", step 4.)
Press the mode switch* once measurement of the urgent sample is complete to resume auto loader
measurement starting with the next unmeasured sample tube.
* Close any other dialog boxes being displayed and then press the mode switch while the worklist tab on the
main screen is selected.
If you press the mode switch without first selecting the worklist tab, a warning alarm will sound, and the
measurement mode will not switch to auto loader measurement.

14 Verify that all measurement is complete.
You can check that measurement has been completed using the following method.
• The [Status] column of the workitem in the worklist displays [Measured], indicating the acquisition is complete.
• The instrument status indicated by the auto loader analysis status indicator LED/lower left corner of the IPU
screen is lit green.

15 Open the auto loader and remove the rotor.
