Programmed Control
A PGM file is a list of time-precise control commands created by the user
for automated operation of the PDA-100. The user can create PGM files
automatically (with the help of the PGM Wizard) or manually (by editing
an existing PGM file).
NOTE This section provides a brief overview of detector
control. For complete operating instructions, refer
to the PeakNet 6 or Chromeleon online Help or
user’s manual.
Summary of programmed control
1. Start PeakNet 6 or Chromeleon.
2. Create a new PGM file (see the following section) or modify an
existing program.
3. Create a new sequence or modify an existing sequence.
4. Select one of the PDA-100 default control panels:
•
DIONEX_PUMP_PDA_AUTOSAMPLER.PAN, the 2D control
panel, monitors chromatograms of up to five signals (see
Figure 3-1).
•
DIONEX_PUMP_PDA3D_AUTOSAMPLER.PAN, the 3D
control panel, monitors chromatograms, contour plots, and
spectra on-line (see Figure 3-2). The 3D control panel is available
only when PeakNet 6 or Chromeleon includes the 3D software
option.
