3.5.1 Binary solvent manager control panel
The binary solvent manager control panel displays flow status, system pressure, total flow rate,
and solvent composition parameters.
Rule:
You can edit these parameters when the system is idle by clicking the underlined value.
You cannot edit binary solvent manager parameters while the system is running samples.
Figure 3–1: Binary solvent manager control panel
The following table describes the items in the binary solvent manager control panel:
Flow LED
– Displays the actual flow LED on the front panel of the binary solvent manager
unless communications with the binary solvent manager are lost.
Solvent composition
– Displays the percentage of solvent to be drawn from the solvent
lines (A and B). Composition values range from 0.0 to 100.0%.
Stop flow
– Immediately stops all flow from the binary solvent manager.
Pressure Delta –
The difference between the maximum and minimum pressures observed
during the previous minute of operation.
Flow rate
– Displays the total flow rate of the binary solvent manager, from 0.000 to 2.000
mL/min under normal operation and 0.000 to 8.000 mL/min when priming.
System pressure
– Displays system pressure, in kPa, bar, or psi. You can customize
pressure units via the ACQUITY UPLC Console.
Status
– Displays the status of the current operation.
You can access these additional functions by right-clicking anywhere in the binary solvent
manager control panel:
