The detector can be controlled by the Chromeleon Chromatography Management System.
To operate the detector with Chromeleon, an appropriate Chromeleon version and the
corresponding license are required.

otherwise.
If you want to operate the detector with Chromeleon 7, refer to the following
documents for information about how to perform the related processes in
Chromeleon 7 (all documents are included in the Chromeleon 7 shipment):
• Chromeleon 7 Help—provides extensive information and comprehensive
reference material for all aspects of the software.
• Quick Start Guide—describes the main elements of the user interface and
guides you step-by-step through the most important workflows.
• Reference Card—provides a concise overview of the most important
workflows.
• Installation Guide—provides basic information about module installation
and configuration. For specific information about a certain module, refer

Note the following:
• Chromeleon 7 terminology is different from the terminology used in
Chromeleon 6.80. For details, refer to the Glossary, which is available in
the Documents folder of your Chromeleon 7 installation.
• Chromeleon 7 may not yet support all functions supported in
Chromeleon 6.80.
Two modes of software control are available:
Direct Control
•
With direct control, you select operating parameters and commands in the Commands
(F8) dialog box. Direct commands are executed as soon as they are entered. For routine
operation, most parameters and commands are available also on a control panel. For
more information about direct control, see page 65.
Automated Control
•
With automated control, you create a program (or PGM File). This is a list of control
commands, executed in chronological order, for automated operation of the detector.
Programs can be created automatically with the help of a software wizard or manually by
editing an existing program. For more information about automatic control, see page 67.
