Controlling Devices from the Panel Tabset
Creating a New Panel Tabset

1. In the Browser, select New on the File menu.

2. Select Panel Tabset and click OK. The Connect to Chromeleon Server dialog box opens.

3. Select the chromatography Server to which the timebase(s) that you want to control are connected and click OK. An empty panel tabset opens.

4. The window is divided into panes (one for each timebase). On each pane there are two choices for adding Control Panels:

   Add Panel: Click this option to choose a panel from a Browse dialog box. After adding the first panel, you can add additional panels by selecting Add Panel from the Edit or context menu.

   Add Default Panels: Click this option to have Chromeleon add a set of default control panels. The control panels added for each timebase depend on its configuration. Typically, there is a panel for each instrument (pump, detector, autosampler, etc.), a panel for sequence control functions (creating programs and sequences, loading sequences, starting and stopping a batch, etc.), and a "home" panel that provides basic control functions and status for the system.

5. Select Save from the File menu to save the panel tabset. Panel tabsets are saved as PTS (*.pts) files.
