Instrument Configuration
Use the Instrument Configuration dialog box to examine and, if necessary, modify your instrument configuration. The Configurable Modules panel contains a list of all modules available for configuration. The Selected Modules panel contains the list of configured modules.
Auto Configuration: Under Communication settings, select either the Host Name option or the IP address option and enter the appropriate value for the host computer to enable automatic detection of the hardware configuration. The system configures the instrument automatically with no further manual configuration necessary.
The Level Sensing module is not automatically clustered with the pump but rather with the module with the lowest Module Type/Serial Number combination in the stack after Auto Configuration. To verify the presence of the Level Sensing module and to check its current configuration settings, select the paired module and under Connection settings find the active Show Level Sensing Configuration button (see Instrument Configuration settings.). If this button is not active, then Level Sensing is not paired with the selected module.
The Level Sensing Configuration window (Level Sensing Configuration) shows the bottle position layout in the Level Sensing module, the module Type ID, the Serial Number and the Firmware Revision. Bottle positions are numbered consecutively from front to back for the left (L1, L2, L3) and right side (R1, R2, R3) of the module. To view or modify the bottle parameters, click on the corresponding bottle position.
For each Level Sensing module configured in the LC stack, a new tab is created and named in ascending order (LS-1, LS-2 ...).
NOTE
Level Sensing Configuration can be modified later from the corresponding CDS Instrument Dashboard context menu by selecting Level Sensing Assignment.
For each bottle position, the following parameters are displayed:
Position
Limits
Position:
Channel Assignment
Select the channel from the dropdown list.
Solvent Name
Enter a name (will not be evaluated).
Limits:
Prevent analysis if level falls below limit
If this check box is marked and a limit is specified, the module assigned to Level Sensing generates a Not Ready condition if the calculated solvent bottle filling level falls below the set threshold. The ongoing run will be completed but the sequence/worklist will not continue with the next analysis.
Turn pump off if running out of solvent
If this check box is marked and a limit is specified, the module assigned to Level Sensing generates an error if the calculated solvent bottle filling level is equal to zero. The error is recorded in the activity log, the analysis is stopped immediately, and the pump is switched off.
