Introduction to the Agilent 7100 Capillary Electrophoresis System

5 Using the Agilent 7100 Capillary Electrophoresis System
Working with the CE Diagram
Menus in the CE and DAD Diagram
The CE and DAD diagram offers access to directly control several instrument
components, as well as access to method parameters. Right-clicking in the
background of each diagram provides access to the context menus (Figure 19).

Menus in the DAD and CE diagram
To trigger actions for an instrument component, select the appropriate icon in
the diagram. A context menu including possible actions, such as switching on
the lamp, appears. Any instrument action triggered through such a menu does
not change the current method.
To change values for a component, select the appropriate icon. A menu with
three general items and parameter specific for the component appears.
Method
A click here requests the current method from the instrument and opens the
CE Method Setup dialog box for the CE part of the current method or the
respective DAD part. To set up a complete method, refer to “How to Use Your
Agilent CE Instrument for Capillary Electrophoresis Separations” on page 92.
If closed with OK the (possibly) modified method is downloaded to the device.
If changes have been made an asterisk is added to the method status. The
method status is represented by a book icon in the top line of the dashboard.
