Check [button]

Click to check the outgassing rate of the sample on the selected port. The following actions occur:

  • The current degassing step is suspended (on both ports). Degassing can be checked after the vacuum setpoint has been attained, or during a temperature ramp and hold. If using this option during any other step, a message indicating the SmartVac Prep is not in a valid state is displayed.
  • The vacuum valves are closed and the vacuum level monitored.
  • The Status window is displayed (if not already displayed). The Status window will indicate that the degassing operation is being checked and will display the outgassing rate as it becomes available.

During the degas check, the Check button changes to Continue. When Continue is clicked, the valves open, the temperature ramp or hold continues, and the degassing operation resumes. If the outgassing rate indicated that contaminants have been removed from the sample (minimal pressure increase), click Skip to advance to the next state of the degassing operation. For example, if degassing is checked degassing after the setpoint is attained, Skip advances the process to the ramping stage.
