Front Panel Control

This chapter explains how to manually control the components of your HPLC system through the
front panel of the separations module.
When the separations module is configured in the No Interaction or Operate Gradient by Event In
mode, you control each HPLC system component individually via its front panel. When the
separations module is configured in the System Controller mode, you control all components in
your HPLC system through the front panel of the separations module.

Reinitialize the system

It is good practice to reinitialize the system instruments at least once a week. When the
separations module and detectors are power-cycled (powered-off for a minimum of one minute,
and then powered-on), each undergoes a complete system initialization, including internal
diagnostics and verifications. This procedure helps ensure that the mechanical and electrical
components, as well as internal firmware, synchronize for proper operation.
