Monitor
Run Status
The status HOLD will be displayed when no program is running;
otherwise the Run Status displays a run time in minutes elapsed since
the start of the run.
An. Output (mV)
The actual output signal is indicated in this field.
Digital Output (Event)
The current state for the digital output will be displayed in this control. The
On state is represented by an active red Light Emission Diode LED symbol
( ). The Off state is represented by an inactive LED symbol ( ).
Direct Control
The output voltage AO(mV) and the percentage factor values of the
AOF(%) can be set. The settings become effective by clicking the Apply
button, resulting in an output voltage = AO * AOF / 100 at the given
channel.
The digital output defines the event possibilities 0, 1, and Pulse,
selectable from the pull-down menu. The setting becomes effective by
clicking the Apply button.
Instrument Status – Knauer Switching Valves
Run Status
The Run Status displays a run time in minutes elapsed since the start of
the run. While the method is not running the status HOLD will be
displayed.
Valves Status, Direct Control
The actual position for each valve is displayed in the Position row.
To switch the valves specify the required positions and click the Set
Position button. The choices are BLANK and I (Inject) and L (Load) for a
2-position valve, 1 through 6 for a 6-position valve, 1 through 12 for a 12position
valve, and 1 through 16 for a 16-position valve. The BLANK
space means that the valve will not change its state after pressing the Set
Position button.

If there is for any reason the communication to a valve interrupted, the
corresponding field for the valve position is highlighted and the position is
indicated as zero.
