Working with the Instant Pilot
Simultaneous Execution with Software
Simultaneous Execution with Software
With Agilent ChemStation
Features
•
All user interfaces, the Instant Pilot, the Agilent ChemStation or the Agilent
Cerity WorkStation and OpenLab, can be connected to an Agilent Series
system at the same time.
•
Parameter entry is possible from both user interfaces. Parameters are
updated on the other user interface within a few moments.
•
An Agilent ChemStation sequence can be stopped and aborted from the
Instant Pilot and vice versa.
•
The Agilent ChemStation can generate data files from a Instant Pilot method
or sequence. In this case, the pre- fix and file name counter in the Single
Sample Info section of the Agilent ChemStation must be enabled (protocol
mode only).
•
If the Instant Pilot starts an analysis, the Agilent ChemStation is the
slave/monitor system.
•
The Agilent or 3rd- party user interface may block certain functionality, e.g.
editing, load, start or others. In such a case, the screen shows a blinking lock-
symbol in the top left.
Restrictions
•
If a parameter window is open for parameter entry on the Agilent
ChemStation, this specific entry field is disabled on the Instant Pilot.
•
If an analysis is running with the Instant Pilot, the Agilent ChemStation must
not be turned on.
•
If the Agilent ChemStation starts an analysis, the Instant Pilot is the
slave/monitor system.
•
Parameter changes to a method will be identified on the other user interface
as modification.
•
The Instant Pilot and the Agilent ChemStation have a different method
handling (Agilent ChemStation method can have more information than the
method on the Instant Pilot, e.g. additional DAD parameters that are only
