The contents of the Options menu depends up the displayed screen as indicated above. These selections
are used to change screen options.
• Edit User Preferences: Lets you specify the following:
Run Options: Allows you to elect to have the the valves automatically return to position 1 at the end of
a run.
Protocol Editor Mode: This determines whether the default protocol is to be based on time or volume.
Time Format: Allows you to select the time format (HH:MM:SS or min.tenth) used for the chromatogram
X-axis.
BioFrac Tube Number Format: Allows you to select how the tube numbers are displayed on the
Manual, Run and Post Run chromatograms when a BioFrac fraction collector is used. In Rack and Tube
mode, tubes are identified by the rack that they are located in and by the order that the tubes were filled.
In Rack and Grid mode, the tubes are identified by the rack they are located in and by their rack grid
location. This feature is particularly useful for locating samples in microplates.
• Chromatogram settings: Allows you to select which instrument traces will be visible on the
chromatogram. Up to 8 instrument traces are selectable from among the following: standard UV
detector, conductivity monitor, pH, system backpressure, theoretical %B concentration, four QuadTec
wavelengths, and detector traces acquired via the Signal Import Module (SIM). For the Manual screen,
the X-axis (time) and the Y-axis (AU) ranges can be set. For the Run and Post Run screens, only the
Y-axis range can be set.
• Status Lines: Allows the status information at the bottom of the screen to be toggled on or off.
• Browser settings: This enables you to select a heirarchy of how the Browser is to display
users/projects/methods/ runs. For example, select Projects to display a top level folder called “Projects”
which contains all projects in the database.
• Use Time/Use Volume: These are available only from the Protocol screen, when defining a new
protocol.
The following selections are available from the Manual screen:
• Manual Setup: This enables you to set the pump purge flow rate. Additionally, you can set an EGP split
time period, select a QuadTec time constant, and set the SIM parameters. For the F10 pumps, you can
specify a maximum purge rate of 10 ml/min; for the F40 pumps, you can specify a maximum purge rate
of 40 ml/min.
• Buffer Blender Setup: This is available only when the Maximizer is used with the system. This allows
you to switch between buffer blending and non-buffer blending modes. In buffer blending mode, a
window listing buffer systems available for use is displayed. From this window a user can enter one or
two point pH corrections if needed.
