BioOptix™ 10
Appendix A Method Templates
A-4
Additional rules should be observed and are described in the fol-
lowing sections.
A.2.2 [Blocks] The count in this section should equal the total number of blocks
in the template. When generating a method, the number of tabs
created will equal the count value. The acceptable value range is
1 to 10.
A.2.3 [Blockn] This section specifies what information appears on a tab. A sep-
arate
[Blockn] must be used for each tab in the method file, incre-
menting n by one (Block1, Block2, Block3, … Block10). The n
value determines the tab order.
The contents of a Blockn include:
• Name – This text entry is used to label the tab. Up to 20
characters can be used to provide a descriptive title.
• Type – This text entry is limited to three options which
determine the controls that will appear on the tab.
· Fluid – This type provides controls for pumping an
isocratic mix of buffer solution. An example of a Fluid
tab can be seen in Figure 3-2.
· Load – This type provides controls to pump liquid
sample onto the column, or to allow a manual
injection. An example of a Load tab can be seen in
Figure 3-3.
· Gradient – This type is used to reference a Gradient
file and provides controls for the flow rate. An
example of a Gradient tab can be seen in Figure 3-5.
• AskPause – This text entry enables the option to Pause
at End of the block. If this block in the method should
allow a choice to pause the operation, enter Yes. Enter
No to disable the choice. When disabled, the BioOptix 10
automatically proceeds to the next block.
A.2.4 [Other] This section contains the UV detection wavelength setting. This
value assigns a default wavelength for the method. Note that all
blocks use the same wavelength setting.
