Set the method parameters for the fraction collector.
For details on the setting ranges, minimum units, units, and default values for the
parameters, refer to "5.12.5 Fraction Collector" P. 5-109. For details on the functions of the
buttons, refer to "4.2.2 Editing the "Method Parameter" Window" P. 4-12.
For parameters such as the vial volume, set values that match the operating
environment. For example: when set to Vial volume: 0.01 mL, Flow rate: 10 mL/
min, the fraction time will be 60 mS per vial (0.01 [ml]/10 [ml/min] = 0.001 [min]),
which will be too short to actually allow fractioning. Set the parameters to allow for
intervals of at least 2 to 3 seconds or more.

Click when setting is complete.
The "Method Parameter" window closes.
5.6.3 Controlling the Fraction Collector with a Time Program
The fraction collector can be controlled with a time program in the same way as other
components.
For details on how to set time programs, refer to "4.4 Gradient Analysis Using Time Programs" P.
4-28. For details on the commands, setting ranges, and default values for the fraction collector,
refer to "5.13 List of Time-program Commands" P. 5-115.
When setting fraction-collector commands in a time program, be sure that the time set
for the first fraction-collector command is at least 0.33 minutes.
5.6.4 Setting the Number and Positions of Vials in Racks
If using a fraction collector rack other than a Shimadzu rack, the number and positions of vials
must be stored in the system. Enter the rack information in the "Fraction Collector Rack
Adjustment" window.
