Operation

The Gilson 155 and 156 UV/VIS Detectors are versatile ultraviolet-visible absorption
detectors that operate in any of several modes. Within a mode, you set parameters to
optimize sample detection using a wavelength between 190 and 700 nm.
You can also program the detector to choose new parameters at any preset time during a
run.
The 155 Detector can be controlled via its front panel or via external software, such as
Gilson UniPoint™ System Software. The 156 Detector must be controlled via external
software since that detector does not have a front panel display. For information on how
to control the 156 Detector, refer to the user's guide for the controlling software.
The 155 Detector's display guides you through the mode and parameter selection using a
menu format. The front panel provides operating control.
In this section, you'll learn about:
• the front panel keys
• the structure of the detector software
• the wake-up state of the detector
• the setup, detection, and program parameters of the detector
This section also includes a flow chart offering guidelines for operating the detector.
