Diode Array Detector (DAD)
Using the Built-in Test Chromatogram
This function is available from the Agilent ChemStation, Lab Advisor and
Instant Pilot.
The built-in Test Chromatogram can be used to check the signal path from the
detector to the data system and the data analysis or via the analog output to
the integrator or data system. The chromatogram is continuously repeated
until a stop is executed either by means of a stop time or manually.
Procedure Using the Agilent LabAdvisor
This procedure works for all Agilent 1200 Infinity detectors (DAD, MWD,
VWD, FLD and RID). The example figure is from the RID detector.
1 Assure that the default LC method is loaded via the control software.
2 Start the Agilent Lab Advisor software (B.01.03 SP4 or later) and open the
detector's Tools selection.
3 Open the test chromatogram screen
4 Turn the Tes t C hro ma t ogr am on.
5 Change to the detector's Module Service Center and add the detector signal to
the Signal Plot window.
The peak height is always the same but the area and the retention time depend on the set
peakwidth, see example below.
