E.3 Operating the ACQUITY Diverter Valve
E.3.1 Programming the diverter valve for operation
You can actuate the diverter valve by manually switching the valve positions using the buttons on
the front panel, by using method events to program the valve operation, or by a combination of
manual switching and programmed operation. You can configure any combination of ON/OFF
method events.
Note:
Configure the method events in the Events table of the QDa Method Events Editor.
Tip:
Add a toggle switch command to the first line in the method events table, immediately
followed by the required valve starting position, to ensure that the flow switches automatically to
the correct valve start position when resuming programmed operation after manual actuation.
