UltiMate 3000 Series:
VWD-3100 and VWD-3400RS Variable Wavelength Detectors
5.3.2.3 Automated Control
With automated control, you create a program file (PGM) 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. In addition to programs for sample analysis, you
can also create programs for special purposes, for example, to automate system shutdown
(→ page 93) or to ensure that the system automatically restarts operation as desired after a
power failure. For details, see the Chromeleon Help.

2. The wizard guides you through program creation. On each wizard page, make the
desired settings or accept the standard values. For additional information about a page,

program.
