Creating an Instrument Control Method
If you have the Instrument Control option installed and your instrument is
configured as a KNAUER HPLC System, the instrument control functions
appear as part of the Instrument Setup area of your instrument window.
There are two ways to access the Instrument window in which you can
set up your devices and methods:
1. Double–click on the instrument icon you wish to start from the main
screen. The window will be opened in the online mode.
2. Right-click on that icon and select the online or offline opening
mode.
It may be required to log-in before you can access the instrument window
functions.

Enter your name and your password and select the project from the pull
down menu and then press the Login button.
Make sure that all devices of the selected instrument are switched
on and connected to the described communication ports of the
computer before opening the instrument window. The keypad of the
column oven Jetstream must display “choose function”.
If a device is not switched on or connected to the computer if
opening the instrument window please close the instrument
window, switch or connect the device and reopen the instrument
window. Otherwise the correct communication of the devices with
the software can be affected.
All of the functions and procedures described in this chapter can be
performed in the off line operation mode. The instrument wizard will
appear the first time you open the instrument window. Its shape depends
on whether you are working in offline or online mode.
