3 System Control
The ChromLab™ System Control window is the main interface to the NGC™
chromatography system instrument. This interface also appears on the instrument
touch screen. System Control settings enable you to perform a manual run, monitor
and control a method run, verify the device plumbing with the Point-to-Plumb™
feature, control and calibrate the system, and map two or more valves of the same
type on your instrument to their position in the fluidic scheme.
In the Home window, you can access the System Control window by selecting the
System Control tab.
System Control Window
The System Control window displays a chromatogram viewer and a graphical fluidic
scheme. The chromatogram is a time-, volume-, or column volume-based view of
the run data acquired from the instrument. The fluidic scheme is a real-time view of
the instrument status and flow.
For enhanced viewing, you can maximize the chromatogram or the fluidic scheme
using the Expand buttons on the right side of the window. This is especially useful
for touch screen viewing.
The fluidic scheme graphically depicts the flow between modules and how the
system is configured and plumbed for an experiment. Each module’s real-time
status appears next to its image. For manual runs, a list of executed commands
appears in the Run Log pane. In method mode, phases and steps of the method
being run appear in their respective tabs, along with controls to stop or pause the
run and hold the step. The Run Queue pane lists all the runs that are ready to be
started. The Run Queue pane is accessible in both manual and method modes.
