2 Working with the Instant Pilot
Working with Methods
Saving a Method
Methods are stored within the Instant Pilot (internal memory) and/or on an
external USB Flash Drive. The currently loaded method is also the active method
in the modules. Changes to the method are immediately transfered to the
modules. The Instant Pilot generates a list of all available methods that can be
loaded.
The number of methods that can be stored depends on the number of timetable
and injector program lines included. In general, more than 100 methods may be
stored in the Instant Pilot. With differing method contents, the actual amount of
methods to be stored may change significantly.
Use a USB Flash Drive in order to store an infinite number of methods for future
use or for exchange between LC instruments (see
“Transfer of Methods” on
page 76).
