The PDA, PDA eλ, and the PDA-TS have the same control panel.
The photodiode array (PDA) detector’s control panel displays the detector status.
If Empower software controls the system, the detector’s control panel appears at the bottom of
the Run Samples window. If MassLynx software controls the system, the detector’s control panel
appears at the bottom of the Inlet Editor window.
You can edit detector parameters when the system is idle by clicking the underlined value. You
cannot edit these values while the system is running samples.
