5.3.3 Viewing and Editing a Method
Whenever a method is Opened, or whenever View Method is selected, the Method List is displayed. From
the Method List it is possible to review the contents of the entire method including the pump steps, fraction
collection parameters, and the alarms. If desired, the method can be edited to make whatever changes are
necessary. When the contents of the method are correct, press the Done softkey. If changes are made,
you must then confirm whether or not you want to save the method. Refer to section 5.3.7 for saving the
method. The system then returns to the Program mode main menu. To run the method, see section 5.4.
Table 15.
Program Mode Operation: Viewing and Editing a Method
Reference Description
Method List: This list shows all actions which will take place
when the method is run in the order in which they will occur.
The numbered steps indicate the pump steps within the
method. Below each step are any fraction collection events or
alarm events which will occur during the step. Use the Prev
and Next keys to scroll through the list and view the method.
The units of duration are in either time (minutes) or volume (ml)
depending upon the choice made when the method was creat-
ed.
The instrument softkeys or the corresponding instrument keys
are used to edit or make changes to the table for the appropri-
ate instrument. For a description of the Pump Table see section
5.3.4. For a description of the Fraction Collection Table see
section 5.3.5. For a description of the Alarm Table see section
5.3.6. After the tables are completed the Method List will be
displayed again including any changes made and can be
reviewed . When the method is complete, press the Done soft-
key. If the method has only been viewed without making any
changes the Program mode Main Menu will be displayed. If
any changes or additions have been made to the method the
Save As menu will be displayed.
Notes: A method must contain at least one pump step; however
fraction collection and alarms are optional. The other BioLogic
LP instruments (UV Monitor, Conductivity Monitor, Chart
Recorder, and Valve Controller) are not part of programmed
methods. They can be operated by pressing the appropriate
instrument key at any time, except while actually viewing and
editing a method. Although the Chart Recorder is not pro-
grammed, it automatically records all runs.
