Time Programming
To time-program selected settings during the analysis you can create a
timetable. Using the Timetable screen, you can create a time based program
that will automatically control the pump, detector, column compartment and
external contacts.
In some cases the settings will change instantaneously from the initial value to
the value specified after a certain time in the timetable (e.g. wavelength). In
other cases (solvent composition) these changes take place dynamically,
approaching the set value in a step wise and linear manner.
The timetable is accessed by selecting the
Timetable
button [
F2
] in the
Analysis
screen.
A timetable line can be inserted by pressing the
Insert
button [
F7
] and consists
of the following:
•
Time
Set the time span between the instant of injection and the desired
parameter change.
•
Module
Choose the module that controls the parameter you want to change.
•
Setting
Select the parameter to be changed.
•
Value
Enter the desired parameter value.
You can edit an existing timetable line by pressing the
Enter
key. Use the
Delete
button [
F6
] and make a choice from the pop-up menu to delete either
the selected line or the whole timetable.
You can copy and paste timetable lines by selecting the respective choices
available from the context menu (
m
key).
