Fig 15: Method Setup - Valves

Each valve allows to set its parameters on the appropriate tab. To switch
to another valve, use the

Select Valve

field in the upper left corner of the

Method Setup - Valves

dialog. Each type of valve has different parameters

available, thus the appearance of

Valves

panel depends on the type of

selected valve.
