Tab Dialog Box:
Segments/Pump Link

Use this page to specify the standard configuration of the carousel (also, see Rack). If possible, link the autosampler to one of the following pumps (for details, see below):

Description

 

 

Well Plate Sampler Segment Types

Red, Green, or Blue

Select the sample containers that will be installed in the red, green, and blue segments from the associated list.

Note: If you later install different sample containers in the carousel, be sure to update the settings. If there is a discrepancy between the settings in Chromeleon and the sample containers installed in the carousel, the needle may be damaged.

For an AS-AP: Update the settings on the Segments/Pump Link tab page.

For a WPS autosampler, use one of the following methods to update the settings:

  • If you want to change the standard settings, update them on the Segments/Pump Link tab page.

  • If you do not want to change the standard settings, update the settings in the Commands dialog box or on the autosampler control panel.

 

 

Pump Link

It is possible to link the autosamplerwith the pump that delivers the flow into which the sample is injected.

WPS-3000SL and WPS-3000RS/TXRS: This information is important if you want to operate the system in bypass mode (for details, see the operating instructions for the autosampler).

All WPS autosamplers and the AS-AP:  If the system includes one of the pumps listed below, the injection command can be synchronized with the pump strokes. Synchronization ensures that all injections are performed at the same phase of the pump cycle; this enhances the retention time precision for gradient applications.

Note:

The AS-AP autosampler cannot be combined with an LPG-3400XRS pump.

  • If the UltiMate 3000 system includes a DGP-3600, select UM3PUMP_L_STRK to enable synchronization with the left pump. To enable synchronization with the right pump, select UM3PUMP_R_STRK.

  • If the UltiMate 3000 system includes an LPG-3400, select UM3PUMP_STROKE.

  • If the UltiMate 3000 system includes an LPG-3400XRS, select UM3WPS_STRK_1.

  • If the IC system includes an ICS-3000 or ICS-5000 DP, select DPSP3000_L_STRK to enable synchronization with the left pump. To enable synchronization with the right pump, select DPSP3000_R_STRK.

  • If the IC system includes an ICS-3000 or ICS-5000 SP, select DPSP3000_STROKE.

  • If you do not want to link the autosampler with a pump, select <None>.

 Tip: 

To change the synchronization assignment for a specific application, use the PumpDevice property in the Commands dialog box. To disable synchronization for a specific application, set the SyncWithPump property to Off. Chromeleon supports these properties in the program file (PGM File), also.

 

 

Monitor Link

(AS-AP only) To enable sample conductivity and pH measurements with the AS-AP Sample Conductivity and pH Accessory, click the down arrow and select the device name from the list.

 

 

Timebase

(AS-AP only) Reports the name of the timebase where the AS-AP Sample Conductivity and pH Accessory is configured (read-only).

For more information about installing an AS-AP, refer to the autosampler operator's manual. The manual is available on the Dionex Reference Library DVD.
