Introduction 

General 

This document describes the configuration procedure of the 
Varian ProStar 220, 230, and 240 pump driver. It also explains 
how to build a control method for this driver, how to start and 
view a running acquisition and what actions are available during 
an analysis. 

The ProStar 220, 230 and 240 Solvent Delivery modules are 
single piston pumps which deliver flow in a linear dynamic range. 

The 220 is designed for isocratic (single solvent) applications 
only.  

Proportioned delivery of multiple solvents can be achieved by the 
230 and 240 pumps. Up to 3 solvents may be run isocratically or 
in gradients with the ProStar 230 SDM. The 240 SDM is a 
quaternary HPLC system which allows the user to run any of four 
solvents isocratically or to proportion, and run a gradient with 
three solvents.
