Chapter 44.3.3 Setting the Temperature of the Thermal OrganizerIf the system includes a thermal organizer, its temperature can be set by checking the Heatingon/off check box in the bottom center of the Control dialog. Enter the desired temperatureand click the Set button. The temperature of the thermal organizer will be driven to theindicated set point, with the actual temperature updated in the dialog and on the organizerevery 10 seconds.4.3.4 Setting Autosampler ControlsIf an autosampler is included in the system and selected in the Instrument Options, theAutosampler Control group of controls will appear in the Control dialog. The Pre-Run Oventemperature (if applicable) and Pre-Run Tray temperature (if applicable) can be set byentering values in the appropriate edit fields, and the thermal circuits can be started byclicking the appropriate button. The tray can be advanced (on the Model 540 Autosampler)and the wash function can be started or stopped by clicking the appropriate buttons.4.3.5 Setting Relay ControlsThe checkboxes in the Relay Control grouping of the Control dialog are provided to initiatean autosampler (connected through contact closures), initiate a gradient (for systems thatcontrol the pumps and/or autosamplers locally), open a valve, or control any of 5 auxiliaryrelays.To initiate a relay action, check the check box adjacent to the relay type.• For the Autosampler and Gradient Start relays, a signal will be sent to theexternal device to initiate the relay action. In order to perform the action again(e.g., start the gradient again) it will be necessary to uncheck the check box andthen check it again to re-initiate the action.• For a Valve or Auxiliary relay, the status of the device is changed wheneverthe check box is checked. If the valve is presently closed, it will be openedand remain opened until the check mark is removed (and vice versa).4.4 Collecting DataAt this point, the pumps are delivering mobile phase at the desired flow rate, the desiredtemperature for the thermal organizer has been set (if applicable) and the cell potentials havebeen set. To start collecting data (e.g., if you would like to determine the baseline signal witha given column and mobile phase), click the Collect button in the Data Collection group.This action opens the Control View window, which shows a live display of the current fromeach channel over time (the chromatogram), as shown in Figure 4-4.
