A Sequence Control panel lets you define and run sequences (groups
of sample injections to be analyzed in the order in which they are
listed).
•
A Status panel shows the overall system status.
•
An Autosampler panel (included if the Dionex ICS-1100 is
connected to a Dionex AS, Dionex AS-AP, Dionex AS-DV, or
Dionex AS-HV Autosampler) provides access to autosampler
functions.
To open the panel tabset, use one of the methods below:
•
If Chromeleon is installed,
start Chromeleon and click
the
Default Panel Tabset
toolbar button, or select
View > Default Panel
Tabset
.
•
If Chromeleon Xpress is
installed, start the application; this automatically displays the Dionex
ICS-1100 panel tabset.
2.3.2 Software Control Modes
Two modes of software control are available: direct control and
programmed control.
•
With direct control, you select operating parameters and commands
from the Control panels. Direct control commands are executed as
soon as they are entered.
•
With programmed control, you create a list of control commands to
be executed in chronological order. Programs can be created
automatically (with the help of a software wizard).
2.3.3 System Wellness
System Wellness monitors the overall “health” of a chromatographic
system. It provides built-in diagnostic and calibration features that help
prevent unscheduled system shutdowns and assure reliable operation of
system devices. For details about System Wellness, see
