The picture illustrates the scenario:
Fig. 59: Interdependencies between ReadyTempDelta, EquilibrationTime, and Ready
Observe the following:
•
The smaller the value is for ReadyTempDelta and the higher the value is for
EquilibrationTime, the longer is takes until the column compartment is ready for
operation and you can start the data acquisition and/or the analysis.
Environmental conditions, such as draft or air conditioning, may also extend the waiting
•
period or even prevent the column compartment from entering the Ready state.
5.7.4 Using the Digital Inputs and Outputs (Digital I/O)
Before you begin, verify that
•
The device you want to control is connected to the digital I/O port on the rear panel of the
module (→ page 42) and that the appropriate signal cable (6-pin Mini-DIN, part no.
6000.1004) is used for the connection.
•
The relay outputs and digital inputs you want to use are selected in the Properties dialog
for the module (→ page 52).
When these conditions are fulfilled, the relay outputs and digital inputs are available in
Chromeleon, for example, in the Commands dialog box under PumpModule, and can be
programmed as required. For information about the functions of the connector pins and pin
assignment, see page 255.
5.7.5 Operational Qualification and Performance Qualification
To check and document the performance of the HPLC system, perform Operational and
Performance Qualification. All materials required for performing qualification and detailed
instructions are available on request.
Operating Instructions
UltiMate 3000 Series:
NCS-3500RS and NCP-3200RS
