## .. PURGE .....
Function Switch on purging.
Description The PURGE instruction switches on the inert gas purging for the
measuring vessel on the 747 VA Stand. This is used to remove the
electrochemically active and hence interfering oxygen in aqueous
solutions. With the inert gas flow rate of ca. 20 L/h set on the 747 VA
Stand, a purging time of ca. 3...5 min usually suffices.
Purging remains active until it is switched off automatically with the
ØPURGE or END instruction in the main program on the "OP.SEQUENCE"
page.
Comment If the purging should be switched off automatically after a definite
time, the TPURGE instruction can also be used.
To achieve an effective purging of the analysis solution as quickly as
possible, the solution should also be stirred with the STIR or TSTIR
instruction.
