Shimadzu LC-10/20 Pump
4 Using the control module
Idle State
An item specifying the overall flow rate through the column outside the
instrument method. The following options are possible:
Pump Off
The flow rates of all components are zero.
Caution:
Be careful as this setting may damage the column in some cases.
Initial
The flow rate is defined by the first row of the gradient table (the
Initial
row).
Standby
The flow rate is the same as in the
STANDBY
mode and, accordingly,
corresponds to the value entered in
Standby Flow
field.
The
IDLE
state comes into effect each time an Instrument is opened, at the
end or after abortion of an analysis by the
Abort
command, and is also
maintained after the
Clarity
program is shut down.
The mixing ratio of individual components in both the
IDLE
and
STANDBY
states is given by the first row of the
Gradient Table
(the
Initial
row).
Note:
There is a step change in the flow and components percentage from the
values specified for the
STANDBY
state to those specified for the
IDLE
state if the
Idle State
field is not set to
Standby
.
