Detector Control
Controlling a Suppressor

The commands used for controlling a Suppressor differ, depending on the model of conductivity detector used and the type of suppressor installed:

Notes on Suppressor Names for ICS-3000 CD and ICS-5000 CD Detectors

The following names are assigned to the suppressors by default:

Suppressor1: The first or only suppressor in the timebase

Suppressor2: The second suppressor in the timebase

 

 

Example

 

 

Suppressor1.Type

=AAES

 

Suppressor1.CurrentSet

=20 [mA]

 

ICS-4000 CD, ICS-5000 CD Commands (Capillary Systems)

 

 

SuppressorName.Type

=ACES, CCES

 

SuppressorName.CurrentSet

=mA

 

 

 

 

Example

 

 

Suppressor1.Type

=ACES

 

Suppressor1.CurrentSet

=10 [mA]

Suppressor Operating Current Ranges

 

Suppressor Type

Current Range

 

AAES

=0.0...150 (mA)

 

CAES

ACES

=0.0...25 (mA)

 

CCES

=0.0...25 (mA)

 

ASRS_4mm

=0.0...500 (mA)

 

ASRS_2mm

 Note:

The Program Wizard or SmartStartup Wizard guides you in setting the recommended current for the suppressors. The Wizard supplies a recommended current based on the eluent concentration and flow rate settings. Chromeleon automatically enters the recommended current into the Program and applies that current to the suppressor. To ensure the optimal performance of the suppressor, always accept the recommended current setting.
