Operation From Chromeleon - Thermo Scientific Dionex UltiMate 3000 Series Operating Instructions Manual

2.10 Operation from Chromeleon

The module can be controlled by the Chromeleon Chromatography Management System.
To do so, an appropriate Chromeleon version and license are required.
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 89.
• 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 module. You
can create programs automatically with the software wizard or manually by editing an
existing program. For more information about automatic control, see page 92.
