Parameter Description
Method Indicates the current separation method. When you change
any parameter in the Status screen, this field changes to
<direct>.
Flow Indicates the current flow rate of the solvent management
system.
System Indicates the current system pressure in psi, bar, or kPa.
Sample: Set Indicates the user-specified sample compartment temperature.
Sample: Current Indicates the current actual sample compartment temperature.
Composition Indicates the current solvent composition.
S1 – S4 Indicates the status of the event switches on the I/O connector.
