Entering Method Programs
Creating and editing method program files is detailed in the following sections. You are advised
to check and correct the configuration parameters before using the edit functions to create a
list of events and the related parameters (flow rates, volumes, composition, etc.)
Creating a method program file consists of two different steps: 1) assigning a file number and
2) entering a list of events that you want to occur at the times that you specify. However, it
is recommended that you list the events required by your method program, on paper, before
attempting to create the file. See Method Program Worksheet on page 84 for a sample.
Method program files (1–20) can be looped and linked to other files.
Safety program files (21–24) are created in exactly the same way as method program files.
