•
A Sequence Control panel lets you define and run sequences (groups
of sample injections to be analyzed in the order in which they are
listed).
•
A Status panel shows the overall system status.
•
An Autosampler panel (included if the ICS-2100 is connected to an
AS, AS-DV, or AS-HV Autosampler) provides access to autosampler
functions.
To open the panel tabset, use one of the methods below:
•
If Chromeleon is installed,
start Chromeleon and click
the Default Panel Tabset
toolbar button, or select
View > Default Panel
Tabset.
•
If Chromeleon Xpress is
installed, start the application; this automatically displays the ICS-
2100 panel tabset.
2.3.2 Software Control Modes
Two modes of software control are available: direct control and
programmed control.
•
With direct control, you select operating parameters and commands
from the Control panels. Direct control commands are executed as
soon as they are entered. See
Section 3.11.2 for details about direct
control.
•
With programmed control, you create a list of control commands to
be executed in chronological order. Programs can be created
automatically (with the help of a software wizard). See
Section 3.11.3
for details about programmed control.
2.3.3 System Wellness
System Wellness monitors the overall “health” of a chromatographic
system. It provides built-in diagnostic and calibration features that help
prevent unscheduled system shutdowns and assure reliable operation of
system devices. For details about System Wellness, see
Section 5.1 .
