Commands and Tips for Third-Party Devices
Agilent 1100 HPLC System: Refractive Index Detector
In addition to the standard detector commands (see Commands for Controlling Dionex Devices Dionex Detectors) and the general commands for the 1100 HPLC systems (see Agilent 1100 HPLC System: General), the following commands and properties are available (please note that the display Filter level determines which commands and properties are displayed):
Command |
Description |
Autozero |
Performs Autozero. When issued manually, the command is performed immediately; otherwise, it is performed at a Program time <0.000 min. With a program time of 0.000, the command is performed before the injection program; with a program time >0.000, the command is performed at this program time. |
