Power Failure Protection

When Chromeleon is started, the system recognizes whether online Batch processing was interrupted by a power failure.

This is possible because the processing date and time of each sample is entered in the sequence editor. Chromeleon checks whether all "started" samples (labeled with the date and time) have been completely processed, i.e., whether they have reached the status F (finished). If the samples are not labeled Finished, the Power Failure Handling function allows you to define how to continue processing. Select Error Handling on the Batch menu and select an option:

• Continue with the interrupted sample

• Continue with the next sample

• Reprocess the entire online batch

• Abort the batch

• Prompt the user what to do

You can also select a PGM File that shall be started after booting the server (see How to …: Creating and Modifying Programs  Creating a Power Failure Program).

In addition to power failure protection, Chromeleon also provides Network Failure Protection.
