Edit a separation method
You can modify a separation method while a sample set is running. If the
separation method is being used for the current injection, the current injection
is unaffected. You must save the changes to the modified separation method
before you can apply the method to all subsequent injections that use that
separation method. Follow the procedures on page 146 to modify and save the
separation method.
Stop a run
To stop a run in progress, press one of the following keys from the Status
screen:
• Stop Inject (screen key) – Stops the current injection, and displays a
dialog box requesting you to abort or resume the injection.
• Hold Inject (screen key) – Completes the current function, suspends
operation of subsequent functions, and displays screen keys that allow
you to abort or resume the sample set.
• Hold Gradient (screen key) – Holds the current gradient conditions. A
screen key allows you to resume the gradient.
Alternative: On the keypad, press Stop Flow to halt the flow of solvent,
suspend operation of the current function, and display screen keys that allow
you to abort or resume the function.
If any alarm condition specified in the separation method, sample set, or
sample template is set to “Stop Function” or “Stop Flow” when alarm condition
occurs, a dialog box appears notifying you of the alarm condition. The
following screen keys are in this dialog box:
• Abort – Cancels the current function
• Resume – Resumes the current function
Perform automatic runs under Empower software control
If your separations module is configured for Empower Chromatography Data
Software, you make an automatic run from the Empower software Run
Samples window. When the separations module is running under Empower
software control, the word “Remote” appears in the banner area.
