Create and edit a sample set
A sample set is a table of instructions that the separations module uses to
perform an automated run in a standalone mode. During a run, the
separations module performs the function in each row of the table
sequentially.
To create and edit a sample set:
1. On the Main screen, click the Develop Methods screen key.
2. On the Methods screen, click the New screen key.
