Loading the Default Method
The ChemStation has a default method named
DEF_LC.M
which is loaded at
first execution or whenever a new blank method template is required. It
contains default settings for all modules.
With this procedure, you load the method
DEF_LC.M
. You can use it to set all
parameters to default settings, or to get a blank method template before
setting up a new method.
1
Go to
Method and Run Control
view of the ChemStation.
2
On the menu bar, select
Method
>
New Method...
, and select
DEF_LC.M
from
the context menu.
Alternatively, you can use the
Load Method
icon
under the menu bar, or
double-click the method name
DEF_LC.M
in the
Methods
tab of the Navigation
Pane.
The default method (
DEF_LC.M
) has a set of default parameters which can then
be modified to create a new method. For instance, the flow rate is set to zero,
and the
Method Information
and
Method History
are blank.
N O T E
Note that this method can never be overwritten with new parameters. Hence clicking on
Save
will re-direct you into the
Save As...
function, so that you must enter a different
method name.
