Varian 3400 and 3600 GCs: Different Names in Firmware and ChromeleonCommands and Tips for Third-Party Devices
Varian 3400 and 3600 GCs: Different Names in Firmware and Chromeleon
Tip:
Dionex recommends avoiding manual input on the device. Chromeleon cannot read all settings from the device. Therefore, manual settings on the device may lead to errors in the program.
For consistency reasons, the names of some Chromeleon properties and commands are different from the names used in the instrument's firmware:
