5.2 Perform automatic runs under Empower software

If your separations module is configured for Empower Chromatography Data Software, you make
an automatic run from the Empower software Run Samples window. When the separations
module is running under Empower software control, the word "Remote" appears in the banner

To make an automatic run, perform the following steps at the Empower workstation:
Tip: See the Empower online help for an explanation of how to perform the tasks in these steps.
1. Depending on the type and version of remote control software you are using, create a
chromatographic system as follows:
• For Empower software – Create a system that includes the separations module.
2. Create an instrument method that uses the system you defined in
Tip: Any parameter values not explicitly set in the Empower instrument method
automatically adopt the values in the default separation method in the separations module.
These values include:
• Column selection valves (3-column, 6-column, and 2-column regeneration valves)
recognized by the e2695 software
• A needle- wash time selection of "normal", "double", and "extended"
