9.2.6.2 Monitoring the Solvent Consumption
TIP When monitoring the liquid level in the solvent reservoirs (solvent
consumption) as described in this section, the Chromeleon software
calculates the liquid level. To monitor the liquid level in real time, based
on real physical measurement, install the Vanquish Solvent Monitor. The
solvent monitor is available as an option (see Optional Accessories
(

page 269) ).
For monitoring the solvent consumption, note the following:
• The two pumps can share the same set of solvent reservoirs or they
can be connected to different sets of reservoirs.
• Depending on the setup, you can monitor the solvent consumption
for the dual pump as a whole or separately for each pump.
Monitoring the Solvent Consumption for the Dual Pump as a Whole
TIP It is possible to share solvent reservoirs even if the two pumps are
assigned to different instruments.
1. In the Instrument Configuration Manager, open the dialog box for
the dual pump.
2. On the Bottles tab page, select the Share Eluent Bottles check box.
3. In the Chromeleon user interface, enter the information that is
required for monitoring (see Important Operating Parameters
(
}
page 97) ). Enter the information for both pumps.
Notice that the monitoring properties show the same values for both
pumps, for example, the
RemainTime property.
Monitoring the Solvent Consumption for Each Pump Separately
1. In the Instrument Configuration Manager, open the dialog box for
the dual pump.
2. On the Bottles tab page, clear the Share Eluent Bottles check box.
3. In the Chromeleon user interface, enter the information that is
required for monitoring (see Important Operating Parameters
(
