Running a Method or a Sequence from the Keypad 5
Operation Manual 51
Running Sequences from the Keypad
A sequence can specify up to five subsequences to be run,
as well as priority (ALS only) and post- run sequences, if
defined. Each sequence is stored as a number (from 1 to 9).
To start running a sequence
1 Load the sequence. (See "To load a stored sequence".)
2 Press [Seq Control].
3 Verify the status of the sequence:
• Running—the sequence is running
• Ready/wait—the instrument is not ready (due to oven
temperature, equilibration times, and so forth.)
• Paused—the sequence is paused
• Stopped—proceed to step 4
• Aborted—the sequence stopped without waiting for the
run to finish (See "Aborting a sequence".)
• No sequence—the sequence is off or not defined
4 Scroll to the Start sequence line and press [Enter] to change
the status to Running.
The Run LED will light and stay lit until the sequence is
completed. The sequence continues to run until all
subsequences are executed or until the sequence is
aborted.
Ready wait
If a sequence is started but the instrument is not ready (due
to oven temperature, equilibration times, and so forth), the
sequence will not start until all instrument setpoints are
ready.
To pause a running sequence
1 Press [Seq Control].
2 Scroll to Pause sequence and press [Enter].
The sequence stops when the current sample run is
complete. The sequence status changes to paused, and you
are given the option to resume or stop the paused
sequence.
