Working with the Control Module
Working with Methods
1 Insert the PC card into the control module as described in “Inserting and Removing
PC cards” on page 37.
NOTE Methods from a freshly installed PC card are not available. Restart the control
module using the Restart function via the m (menu) key from the main screens.
2 Select the Method button [F3] in the Analysis or Samples screen.
3 Select the PC card button [F2].
NOTE Use the Initialize button [F1] available in this screen in order to initialize a pre-
formatted PC card for use with the control module. This has to take place prior to first
use in the control module. Be aware that all data on the PC card will be lost.
4 Use the Selection and Direction keys to navigate within and between the method list
boxes.
5 Use the “Copy >>” and “Copy <<“ buttons [F7, F8] to copy methods from and to the
PC card.
If you want to store the current method on PC card, you have to use the Save As
function (see “Saving a Method” on page 40) in order to store it in the modules first.
From there you can copy it to PC card as described in this section.
Transferring Methods Between LC Systems
Methods can be transferred from one LC system to another using a PC card.
1 Save the method you want to transfer onto a PC card. See section “Exchanging
Methods With the PC Card” on page 41.
2 Remove the PC card from the control module.
3 Insert the PC card into the control module of the other LC system.
NOTE If this system does not have a control module connected, use any available control
module.
