Sampling Mode

NOTE: Only Nordson service personnel can access this setting. Contact your Nordson representative if you need to change this setting.

The Sampling Mode is the method that the Spray Monitor uses to compare average actual gun pressures against calibrated pressures and flow fault bands. The Sampling Mode plots the actual gun pressures each time the gun sprays. The Sampling Mode works with the Trigger Mode and the Smoothing setting to allow the Spray Monitor to account for fluctuations in coating material viscosity.

All Samples: The Spray Monitor takes as many samples of the actual pressures as it can in the time that a gun is spraying. The number of samples taken is dependent on the Smoothing setting. It then compares the average of those samples to the calibrated pressures. All Samples is typically used with the Continuous Triggering Mode.

Single Samples: The Spray Monitor takes one sample of the actual pressure while the gun is spraying and compares the sample with the calibrated pressure. The Smoothing setting determines how long after the gun starts spraying that the sample is taken. Single Samples is typically used with the Intermittent Triggering Mode.
