Waters 515 Pump: Program Tips

Hints for automatically generated programs

The Waters 515 pump does not provide PGM wizard support for customized programs. Therefore, use the PGM wizard to automatically create the basic structure of a program and then edit PGM files manually using the F8 Commands box, if necessary. For more information also refer to  Manually Editing a PGM File in the Commands View.

When created automatically, each time step of the PGM may contain duplicate commands for flow and eluent composition. These redundant parameters cannot be processed by the Waters 515 pump and must therefore be eliminated from the PGM script. See the PGM below for details:


Pump.Pressure.LowerLimit = 0 [bar] Pump.Pressure.UpperLimit = 400 [bar] 0.000 UV_VIS_1.Autozero UV_VIS_2.Autozero Flow = 1.00 [ml/min] %B = 50 [%] %C = 0 [%] %D = 0 [%] Wait UV.Ready and Sampler.Ready Inject UV_VIS_1.AcqOn UV_VIS_2.AcqOn ; Flow = 1.00 [ml/min] PGM Wizard generates duplicate flow ; %B = 50 [%] and eluent composition parameters. ; %C = 0 [%] Please eliminate parameters ; %D = 0 [%] from PGM script. 5.000 UV_VIS_1.AcqOn UV_VIS_2.AcqOn Flow = 1.00 [ml/min] %B = 100 [%] End
