Analysis

Submenu with commands for controlling the running of the analysis.

Send Method It sends the method to all connected control modules/hardware. This button is not available during data acquisition.
Run Single Starts individual measurement. A change of color in the background of the graph in the Data Acquisition window and the commencement of time counting in the status bar will indicate a running measurement.
This command can be selected during the measurement only when External Start setting in the Method Setup - Measurement dialog is set to Start-Restart. Invoking the command terminates measurement and at the same time starts another one. This feature is often called "Continuous Measurement". Invoking the command during analysis is possible only when there are analog detectors (INT7, Net-PAD, …) on instrument. If there is one or more digital detectors on instrument, invoking the command during analysis is not possible. This command is inactive during sequence measurement.
Run Sequence Starts the sequence measurement. Measurement will be performed according to the current sequence file in the Sequence window. A change of color in the background of the graph in the Data Acquisition window and the commencement of time counting in the status bar will indicate a running measurement.
This command is inactive during analysis.
Resume Sequence Resumes the operation of a suspended sequence. This function may also be invoked by pressing the Ctrl + Space bar shortcut (for more details see also chapter Sequence).
Snapshot

Saves the data from the running analysis to a chromatogram without terminating the measurement. The snapshot chromatogram will be automatically replaced by the final chromatogram after the analysis is finished.

If the modifications of a snapshot chromatogram have to be preserved, it is necessary to save the snapshot chromatogram under a different name (using the Save As command) before the end of the analysis.

Stop Immediately terminates an individual measurement and processes it. The Instrument will return to the STOP or WAITING state. If the control program for HPLC pumps or other devices is still running, the CONTROL state will be displayed.

When running a sequence measurement, it will be terminated after the length of analysis set in the Enable Autostop - Run Time field of the Method Setup - Measurement dialog has elapsed.

Abort Terminates the measurement without storing and processing any data. The Instrument will return to the STOP or WAITING state. Any control program for HPLC pumps will be stopped. Running gradient will be also stopped immediately and the device should be properly conditioned by the user before next analysis.
The sequence will be terminated without processing the current analysis. The sequence run can be continued from the actual point using the Resume command.
  Set Autostop Opens the Method Setup - Measurement dialog where the Enable Autostop and Run Time parameters can be set.
Set Zero Sets the active signal value as offset. That means that the current value of the signal will be subtracted from the signal from now on. The offset value can be reset using Reset Zero command. The Set Zero function is only active when the measurement is not running.
Reset Zero Resets the subtracted offset value set using the Set Zero command to 0.
The offset value is automatically reset when an Instrument is closed.

Note:

The above commands are similar to the commands in the Single Analysis dialog.
