Figure 2-10 shows the Dionex PDA Control panel in Chromeleon 6.8.
Two modes of software control are available: direct control and
automated control.
•
With direct control, you select operating parameters and commands
from the Chromeleon 7 ePanels (or Command window) or the
Chromeleon 6.8 Control panels (or Commands dialog box). Direct
control commands are executed as soon as they are entered. See
Section 3.3 for details about direct control.
•
With automated control, you create a Chromeleon 7 instrument
method or a Chromeleon 6.8 program. An instrument method or
program is a list of control commands, executed in chronological
order, for automated operation of the detector. It can be created
automatically (with the help of a software wizard) or manually (by
editing an existing instrument method or program). See
Section 3.3
for details about automated control.
