Saving a Method

Although it may seem that methods are stored within the control module, in
fact all data concerning methods is stored in the modules themselves. The
control module generates a list of all available methods that can be loaded.
The number of methods that can be stored depends on the number of
timetable and injector program lines included. In general about 15 methods
may be stored which contain about 50 timetable lines per module. With
differing method contents the actual amount of methods to be stored may
change significantly.
Use PC cards in order to store infinite numbers of methods for future use or
exchange between LC instruments (see

pump method settings are stored in the pump and not in the control module.
If you disconnect the control module from one LC system and connect it to
another LC system, the current method and settings are now shown for the
new LC system. To transfer methods from one LC system to another use a PC
