114 Creating PowerLine Methods
Event Actions
The action selections for events 1 through 5 are:
• 0 = Off
• 1 = On
• 2 = Pulse (generates 600 millisecond pulse)
Event 6 (sparge) requires specification of a sparge rate between 0 and 100 mL/min.
Event 7 requires that you specify a column heater temperature value in °C that is greater
than ambient temperature but less than the maximum temperature (99 °C for the standard
heater) permitted by the column heater.
Events 8 and 9 require specification of a table number between 1 and 15.
Event 10 requires 1 to turn On the lamp or 0 to turn Off the lamp.
Note the following considerations when using Event 10:
• Event 10 is designed to turn the lamp off at the end of an unattended (e.g.,
overnight) run. You should physically turn the lamp on (not use event 10) prior to
the next analysis to assure sufficient lamp warm-up and baseline stability.
• Waters 486 lamp status is checked at the beginning of each run. If the lamp is turned
off via Event 10 at the start of a run, the system returns to IDLE and the error
message
Unable to Set Up Detector appears.
• Do not program event 10 to use a Pulse action.
