Programming the Detector

In file mode, you can create a program file that
specifies the parameters to be set each time you use
the detector. This is convenient in laboratories
where individuals operate the same detector under
different detector conditions.
File mode can also be used to vary the parameters
during a run. You direct the detector to show you
the peaks you want to see. For example, you can tell
the detector when to monitor at a new wavelength
or when to change the sensitivity setting.
You can develop strategies for programmed operation
in single, dual, or scan wavelength modes.
Note: Since timed events direct the program file,
reproducible chromatography is essential.
Keep the following in mind when setting up and
using program files:
• A program file can contain up to 100 timed
events.
• Up to 10 program files can be stored in the
detector's permanent memory. Each file can be
accessed, edited, or deleted independently.
When you create a program file, the parameters
currently stored in the detector's memory are
copied into the created file. These conditions are
set at 0.00 minutes.
In a program file, you can include timed events that
change detection and setup parameters or reset the
output baseline to 0 mV. These user-defined events
should be set at 0.01 minutes or later.
A detector program file is open-ended. The end of
the run is not scheduled. This permits the detector
to be used with a sampling injector, as a slave
device for multiple runs, or when manual injection
is synchronized by control software.
Since the final conditions are in effect after the end of
the programmed run, review the current conditions
before resuming non-programmed operation.
