Controlling Devices from the Panel Tabset
Using the Sequence Control Panel

Each default panel tabset includes a Sequence Control panel that provides a central location from which you can develop applications, run samples, view sample status, and record system maintenance events.

Developing an Application

Two approaches are available:

• Use the Program and Sequence Wizards. Click Create Program under 1. Create Application. The Program Wizard opens and guides you through creating and saving a program. After creating the program, click Create Sequence. The Sequence Wizard opens and guides you through creating and saving a sequence.

• Alternatively, use the Application Wizard. Click Application Wizard under 2. Prepare System. The wizard guides you through creating a program, quantification method, and sequence.

Running Samples Manually

After injecting the sample, click Acq On under 2. Prepare System to start data acquisition and Acq Off to stop acquisition.

Running Samples Automatically

1. Click Load Sequence under 2. Prepare System. Select the sequence to be run and click Open.

   • If the system is idle (not currently running a Batch), the injections in the selected sequence are displayed in the Sequence list. If a sequence is already loaded you can append the new sequence to the list or clear the list first.

   • If the system is running when you load a sequence, the new sequence is automatically appended to the existing list.

2. After loading the sequence, you can edit Sample Variables in the Sequence list if desired.

3. To run the samples, click Start Batch.

4. To hold, continue, or abort the batch, click the corresponding button under 3. Execute Application.

Viewing the Daily Audit Trail

To view an Audit Trail for a previous day, click Daily Audit Trail under System Maintenance. The View Daily Audit Trail window opens. Select a date to see the Audit Trail for that day.

 Tip:

Point to the Audit Trail pane and right-click to open the context menu. The menu includes commands for filtering the Audit Trail, and for selecting, copying, and searching entries. Refer to  Audit Trails for additional information.

Recording Consumable and Eluent Changes

After changing a consumable (for example, a column) or changing eluent, click the corresponding button under System Maintenance. The change is recorded in the Audit Trail.

 Tip:

In Trend Plots, the recorded consumable and eluent changes show up as events. This allows a change in a parameter, such as signal background, to be correlated with a consumable or eluent change.
