IC Control
Controlling an ICS-1000/1500/2000 or ICS-1100/1600/2100 Ion Chromatography System
Commands for controlling the ICS-1000/1500/2000 or ICS-1100/1600/2100 can be included in a Program (see the examples below), or executed directly from either the Control Panel or the Commands dialog box (select Command… on the Control menu). For a list and description of the commands used most often, refer to Commands for Controlling Dionex Devices ICS-1000/1500/2000 or ICS-1100/1600/2100 Ion Chromatography System. Also see the Commands dialog box for a complete list of commands.
The following programs are created with the Program Wizard (see The Control Program The Program Wizard).

|
; For AS40 injection. Replace this line with the following for manual injection |
|
|

Note:
The program above assumes that the TTL output on the ICS-1000 or ICS-1100 is connected to the AS40’s Load Relay. For connection details, refer to the operator’s manuals for the AS40 and the ICS-1000 or ICS-1100.
