Creating a Detector Table 119
6.2.4 Editing the Event Table
For details on editing the event table, see the procedure for editing the gradient table in
Section 6.1.4, Editing the Gradient Table.
6.3 Creating a Detector Table
Skip this section if you are not using PowerLine detectors in your Waters 600E system.
This section provides the information you need to create the third and last component of a
method table, the detector table.
This section describes:
• Documenting the detector table
• Programming the detector table
Note: When creating gradient, event, and detector tables, be sure that you design the
time-related changes specified in each table to work effectively with the changes in the
other two tables of the same set.
6.3.1 Documenting the Detector Table
Define the information you want in a detector table before you actually program the
detector table. This will minimize the need for you to reprogram the table later.
Using the Analysis Plan and File Sheet
Appendix C, Analysis Plan, contains an Analysis Plan and File Sheet to assist you in
defining and documenting table information.
1. Make a photocopy of the Analysis Plan and File Sheet.
2. On each line of the Analysis Plan and File Sheet, write:
• Time at which you want a detector change to occur
• Detector number
• Detector parameters to change (λ and AUFS)
The total number of lines depends on the number of detector changes needed to
execute the method. The detector table can contain up to 15 lines (14 plus initial
conditions).
Note: More than one detector change can occur at the same time as long as you
specify the changes for different detectors.
