Biotage ELSD-1080

(i.e. STANDBY or RUN) you wish the unit to start-up in from the
sub menu screen (see Section 3.3.4, page 33). Switch off the

detector and wait for at least 10 seconds before switching the
unit back on, in order for the change to take affect. If

RUN

mode is selected as the desired Power mode, then the detector
will use the operating parameters stored in memory. In the

unlikely event that the detector encounters a fault during
power-up the unit will automatically switch to

STANDBY

mode.

3.4.9

Data Output Rate (Hz)

The rate at which the ELSD-1080 outputs data can be selected
from the sub-menu screen. A 10Hz output rate is suitable for

flash applications (the default value is 10Hz).

Controlling the Biotage ELSD-1080 Detector
Using the Standalone Software Utilities

These Windows™-based graphical interfaces offer a second and

complementary level to total detector control. An intuitive
single control panel provides simplistic control as well as a
comprehensive monitoring system. Operational parameters can

be easily manipulated, saved or loaded by using the flexible
Methods Editor enabling rapid set-up and custom method

archiving.
A general description of the features available through the

software utilities is given below, but for a more comprehensive
guide on how to use the control software, please refer to the

on-line help supplied with the software.

3.5.1

Control Software-Overview

Control of the ELSD-1080 is achieved through the simple

control window. Within the control window, the status of the
detector is displayed, together with options to control the

various detector parameters. The control window is effectively
divided into three main sections:

Control Window

View the current mode of operation

Change the current mode of operation between
STANDBY and RUN

Change the current Method of operation between a

stored custom method and the default method ‘XXX’

Change detector parameters directly via method ‘XXX’

Status window

Displays the actual values against the set point

for:

Evaporator Temperature

ii.

Nebulizer Temperature

iii.

Gas Flow
