Chapter 8
Setting Gradient Controller
Operating Parameters
This chapter contains the information you need to set the operating parameters when you
want to use the Waters 600 Controller as a Gradient Controller.
The operating parameters apply to all controller operations, whether you are running a
direct control (isocratic) or timed (gradient) application. Once you set these parameter
values, they remain in memory until you change them.
Note: For instructions on configuring and using your Waters 600 Controller as a
PowerLine Controller, see Part 2, Using the PowerLine Controller.
When to Use Gradient Controller Mode
Use Gradient Controller mode when you want to control the Waters 600E Multisolvent
Delivery System from a data system (Millennium Chromatography Manager or
ExpertEase 845/860 Data System), or when you want to run the 600E system in
stand-alone operation.
For a detailed description of Gradient Controller mode, see Section 2.4.2, Gradient
Controller Configuration.
