Detector Control
Tips for Creating Programs (VWD-3x00)

When creating a program for a VWD-3x00 detector, an AcqOn command can cause a conflict after an Autozero command (or any command that triggers a function that takes some time, such as WavelengthCalibration, WavelegnthVerTest, UpdateLampIntensity) if the time between the two commands is too short. The "Command not accepted" error appears. To avoid conflicts, ensure a sufficient wait time after one of the above commands.

Therefore, add a Wait command before the AcqOn command when creating VWD-3x00 programs. In the program example below, the Wait command follows an Autozero command:

 

 

Pump.Pressure.LowerLimit =

10 [bar]

   ;pump settings

 

Pump.Pressure.UpperLimit =

300 [bar]

 

 

Pump.%A.Equate =

"Water"

 

 

Pump.%B.Equate =

"Methanol"
