One window opens for each trend plot and the data grid used by the method. Since no data
has been acquired yet, the trend plots and data grid are empty. Note that the status
indicators for the instruments have both changed to Ready. You can now size the windows
according to your preference.
Hint:
The easiest way to arrange the windows for a new method is to first select the
Acquisition Control Panel window and then click
“Tile Horizontal” from the “Window”
menu.
Start the run
Start the run by pressing the "Start: button. Data will begin appearing in the grid and trend plot
windows and the instrument status will change to
“Running”.
