Perform automatic runs under Empower software control
July 29, 2013, 715003794 Rev. B 143
Configure your separations module for Empower software control as described
in “Configure the operating mode” on page 98.
To make an automatic run, perform the following steps at the Empower
workstation:
Tip: See the Empower online help for an explanation of how to perform the
tasks in these steps.
1. Depending on the type and version of remote control software you are
using, create a chromatographic system as follows:
•For Empower
software – Create a system that includes the
separations module.
2. Create an instrument method that uses the system you defined in
step 1.
Tip: Any parameter values not explicitly set in the Empower instrument
method automatically adopt the values in the default separation method
in the separations module. These values include:
• Column selection valves (3-column, 6-column, and 2-column
regeneration valves) recognized by the e2695 software
• A needle- wash time selection of “normal”, “double”, and “extended”
If you need to modify these values, verify that the term “Idle” appears in
the banner area before you edit the default separation method.
You can edit the default separation method in the separations module to
set parameter values appropriate for your applications. See “Edit a
separation method” on page 149 for details on editing existing methods.
3. Create a method set that uses the instrument method you defined in
step 2.
4. Run the samples using the method set you defined in step 3. When you
enter run samples, use the HPLC system you defined in step 1.
5. Process and print out the data acquired from the chromatographic run.
Considerations when performing runs controlled by Empower
software
• When you start an automatic run, any running sample set or method
programmed locally at the separations module automatically
terminates.
