4 Front Panel Control
This chapter explains how to manually control the components of your HPLC
system through the front panel of the separations module.
When the separations module is configured in the No Interaction or Operate
Gradient by Event In mode, you control each HPLC system component
individually via its front panel. When the separations module is configured in
the System Controller mode, you control all components in your HPLC system
through the front panel of the separations module.
Routine startup
If the separations module is not already powered-on, follow the power-on
procedure in Chapter 3. When the startup diagnostics tests run to completion,
the separations module enters the idle mode.
To automatically identify the reports and methods you will generate, press
Enter, then select your name in the User list. If your name is not on the list,
you can enter it by pressing the Config screen key (to display the
Configuration screen), pressing the User Names screen key (to display the
Users dialog box), then entering your name using the keypad. If necessary,
refer to “Enter an alphanumeric string” on page 89. A user name is not
required to operate the separations module.
The time and date are entered into the log file.
