A good user manual

The rules should oblige the seller to give the purchaser an operating instrucion of Boca Research None, along with an item. The lack of an instruction or false information given to customer shall constitute grounds to apply for a complaint because of nonconformity of goods with the contract. In accordance with the law, a customer can receive an instruction in non-paper form; lately graphic and electronic forms of the manuals, as well as instructional videos have been majorly used. A necessary precondition for this is the unmistakable, legible character of an instruction.

What is an instruction?

The term originates from the Latin word „instructio”, which means organizing. Therefore, in an instruction of Boca Research None one could find a process description. An instruction's purpose is to teach, to ease the start-up and an item's use or performance of certain activities. An instruction is a compilation of information about an item/a service, it is a clue.

Unfortunately, only a few customers devote their time to read an instruction of Boca Research None. A good user manual introduces us to a number of additional functionalities of the purchased item, and also helps us to avoid the formation of most of the defects.

What should a perfect user manual contain?

First and foremost, an user manual of Boca Research None should contain:
- informations concerning technical data of Boca Research None
- name of the manufacturer and a year of construction of the Boca Research None item
- rules of operation, control and maintenance of the Boca Research None item
- safety signs and mark certificates which confirm compatibility with appropriate standards

Why don't we read the manuals?

Usually it results from the lack of time and certainty about functionalities of purchased items. Unfortunately, networking and start-up of Boca Research None alone are not enough. An instruction contains a number of clues concerning respective functionalities, safety rules, maintenance methods (what means should be used), eventual defects of Boca Research None, and methods of problem resolution. Eventually, when one still can't find the answer to his problems, he will be directed to the Boca Research service. Lately animated manuals and instructional videos are quite popular among customers. These kinds of user manuals are effective; they assure that a customer will familiarize himself with the whole material, and won't skip complicated, technical information of Boca Research None.

Why one should read the manuals?

It is mostly in the manuals where we will find the details concerning construction and possibility of the Boca Research None item, and its use of respective accessory, as well as information concerning all the functions and facilities.

After a successful purchase of an item one should find a moment and get to know with every part of an instruction. Currently the manuals are carefully prearranged and translated, so they could be fully understood by its users. The manuals will serve as an informational aid.

    1.2 Layout of the in situ sample stick The liquid sample stick is designed to fit into the DEVA f low cryostat, details of which can be found in the DEVA manual. It consists of a shapol target cell 30 mm x 30 mm with a mylar window upon which may be mounted an RF coil. Two stainless steel capillaries provide a mean s of flowing liquid into and out [...]

    2 General procedures 2.1 Sample loading At this point, the system will be open to the atm osphere, ensure that valve V2 is closed to prevent air cond ensation in the cold trap. 2.1.1 Loading Vessel 1 • Open the tap on the right-hand side of Vessel 1. • Open tap A and valve V11. • The liquid should be poured into the system very slowly to avoi[...]

    2.2.1 Removing air from Vessel 1 Once the system has been pressuris ed, tap A on Vessel 1 can be opened. It is possible to bubbled helium gas through the sample liqui d against the non-retu rn valve, V13. If this is required, first ensure th at valves V 5, V7 and V8 are closed. Open valves V10 and V6, finally opening tap B slowly in order to regula[...]

Procedur es appropriate to ea ch vessel are outlined below. 2.3.1 Sample in Vessel 1 • All taps and valves should be closed. • Open valve V2 and tap A on Vessel 1, and freeze the sample liquid by [...]

    2.4.2 Vessel 3 to sample cell The transfer of liquid from Vessel 3 to the sample cell is brought about by the difference in pressure between that in the Vessel and a vacuum in the cell. However, in order to control the transfer of liquid th e pressure difference shou ld be as small as possible but not so low that the liquid starts to boil. • Swit[...]

    2.4.4 Recovery of liquid in sample cell to Vessel 1 The liquid in the sample cell cannot be recovered to Vessel 1 using the liquid handling rig as presently configured. 2.4.5 Recovery of liquid in sample cell to Vessel 2 The liquid in the sample cell can be r ecovered to Vessel 2 using the following procedure. • Vessel 2 should be under vacuum al[...]

    • All the liquid may not return in a single pass and repea ting the evacuation procedure may be required. However, some liquid m ay be present in the system and care should be taken during evacuation that th e trap does not become blocked. The liquid may also be encouraged to leave the sample cell by using a small amount of gas. • Close valve V[...]

    3 Example Experiment The paramagnetic signal in liquid n-hexane is difficult to observe because the muonium polarisation is found to decay on a microsecond time scale, which is further reduced by the presence of dissolved oxygen. A series of commi ssioning experim ents were carried out using n-hexane in order to gauge the ability of the liquid hand[...]
