Tasks
You use tasks to automate recurring processes, such as preparing the instrument or putting it to sleep.
You create tasks using predefined task templates:
Template | Description |
|---|---|
Make Ready | The task prepares the instrument for use. You can use it to switch on the modules, purge, and equilibrate the configured flow path. See Creating a Make Ready Task. |
Standby | The task puts the instrument into sleep or into standby mode. You can use it to flush the column, fill the column, and switch off the column thermostat, the sample thermostat, and the lamp. See Creating a Standby Task. |
A Make Ready Task may consist of the following three steps:
Step | Importance | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Optional | The step will be executed first. It uses a high flow rate and purges the chosen channels sequentially through the sampler needle tip into waste. |
| Optional | The step will be executed before the Equilibrate step. It prepares the flow path with the specified composition. |
| Mandatory | The step is the final step of the Make Ready task. It ensures that the column and the system will be in an equilibrated state. |
A Standby Task may consist of the following three steps:
Step | Importance | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Optional | The step will be executed first. It flushes the column and the system with the specified composition. |
| Optional | The step will be executed before the Standby step. It fills the column and the system with the specified storage composition. |
| Mandatory | The step is the final step of the Standby task. It puts the system into sleep or into standby with reduced or no pump flow. It switches off the column thermostat, the sample thermostat, and the detector as specified. |
The Tasks screen lists the existing tasks and allows you to create, edit, or execute tasks.
