Creating an Instrument Control Method 141<br />

GLP<br />

This section, only available with Knauer networking pumps, displays GLP<br />

(Good Laboratory Practice) related information transferred to or<br />

“downloaded” from the pump. Pressing the -button will<br />

actualize this information. The extent of the information depends on the<br />

given pump.<br />

Direct Control<br />

The direct control area will appear disabled as long as the direct control<br />

option is not activated. Except during a run it can be activated via the<br />

menu sequence METHOD – OPTIONS – RUNTIME SETTINGS…, (see<br />

Fig. 249 on page 170).<br />

The direct control enables someone to control the instrument directly,<br />

even during a running method. Changes made to the settings and applied<br />

during a run will be automatically stored in the method. The<br />

corresponding new lines in the spreadsheets are marked with the<br />

comment DC Op (Direct Control Operation). Applied changes in a not-<br />

running method will not be saved. However, it will be recorded in the<br />

Activity Log.<br />

Flow (ml/min)<br />

Specify the flow in ml/min you would like to have at the moment and click<br />

the button to send the flow to the pump. If an LPG pump<br />

is used, also the gradient setting will be send.<br />

<br />

The Flow Apply button will send the flow, entered into the Flow field, to<br />

the pump.<br />

<br />

The button will interrupt delivery while the run time continues.<br />

The pump remains in slave mode. This button is also active during a run<br />

to stop the pump e.g. in an emergency situation. This will not stop the<br />

whole method, only the pump’s flow! Due to, that this is a method<br />

change; the current method will be changed. The Stop will be added to<br />

the currently running method, if the option “Save changes in time table” of<br />

the “Direct control during a run” section of the Runtime Settings is<br />

enabled. Please refer the section “Runtime Settings” in the “Knauer<br />

Instrument Control Options” for more information.<br />

<br />

Pressing this button will send the current flow and gradient settings for<br />

execution to the pump.<br />

Gradient Components (%)<br />

Specify the composition (% A, B …), you would like to have at the<br />

moment and click the button. The components field is<br />

applicable for the HPG (High Pressure Gradient) or LPG (Low Pressure<br />

Gradient) mode. Depending on how many components are configured,<br />

the corresponding number of fields (% A, B …) will be accessible.<br />

The button is active only during a run. Clicking on it<br />

opens the following window.
