Selections Description
Check

Click to check the outgassing rate of the samples on the selected port. The following process occurs:

  • The current degassing step is suspended.
  • The vacuum valves are closed and the vacuum level on the selected ports is monitored.
  • The Status window indicates that the degassing operation is being checked and displays the outgassing rate as it becomes available.

During the degas check, the Check button changes to Continue. When Continue is clicked, the valves open and the degassing operation resumes.

If the outgassing rate indicated that the sample has been freed of contaminants (minimal pressure increases), click Skip to advance to the next state of the degassing operation. For example, if degassing is checked after the setpoint is attained, Skip advances to the ramping stage.
