Working with Methods
A method contains a complete set of injection, separation and detection
parameters, including the timetable and injector program. The sample position
information is not part of the method.
There are two types of methods:
•
The Instant Pilot method. The method is stored in the internal memory of the
Instant Pilot. The actual method’s parameters are stored in the individual LC
modules. A method that is stored in the individual LC modules can be loaded,
modified, saved and run from the Instant Pilot.
•
The USB Flash Drive method. The method parameters are stored on a USB
Flash Drive. A method that is stored on the USB Flash Drive can be loaded to
the LC modules or transferred to another LC system. Methods cannot be run
directly from the USB Flash Drive. The method must first be loaded from the
USB Flash Drive before it can be run. When the USB Flash Drive method is
loaded, it becomes the current module method.
Unless stated otherwise, the following sections refer to module methods.
To view/edit the method information, press
