Ready Check

The Ready Check command verifies whether it is actually possible to perform automatic batch processing and/or to execute a PGM File. Before a batch is started, the Ready Check automatically checks whether:

• The instruments in the chromatography system are ready to operate, i.e., they are turned on and connected, the detector lamp is burning, etc.

• The amount of solvent is sufficient for the batch.

• All required files exist.

• The storage capacity is sufficient.

If you perform the Ready Check by clicking the Ready Check button, information is also provided about, e.g., how long the system can run with the remaining solvent supply at the specified flow rate after the end of the batch. (The Ready Check supports this information only for the Dionex P680 pumps.)

If the Ready Check detects an error (Error or Abort Error), it is not possible to start the batch. If the Ready Check reports a warning, the batch can be started nevertheless. However, Dionex recommends that you take appropriate action to remedy the situation.

As the batch list can be extended by further sequences during operation, the Ready Check command can also be performed during operation.

 Tips:

For program reasons, the system always prompts you before the Ready Check to confirm whether you want to accept previously made changes. You are even prompted for example, when these changes refer to a sequence that is not part of the batch to be started or checked. Decide whether to accept or reject the changes. Cancel the batch start or the Ready Check if you wish to check the changes first.
