Creating an Event Table 113
Once set, events remain in that state until you set them to new conditions.
Hint for Event 5
To program a beeping alarm, specify Pulse instead of On.
If you turn on the alarm, include another step to turn off the alarm. Otherwise, manually
turn off the alarm using the Cancel Alarm screen key on the Operate Method screen.
Hints for Events 8 and 9
Note: Do not program events 8 and 9 in the same table.
Program event 8 or 9 at the end of the table to initiate the use of new tables.
Event 8 maintains the initial conditions of the new table until the next injection occurs.
Event 9 executes the new table without waiting for an inject signal. Event 9 is useful for
executing a table that changes conditions and equilibrates the system before the next
injection occurs. Event 9 is useful for automated separations development.
Note: The Detector table is not activated when you specify event 9.
Hint for Event 10
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.
9 Start running Table #. The method begins immediately at the time
this event executes. No inject signal is necessary.
10 Lamp on/off.
