•

As soon as the program at the 732 IC Detector is ready, it will be

started automatically. This is indicated by the blinking LED in the

key at the 732 IC Detector. Depending on the con-

figuration in the

tab, the data acquisition proceeds as fol-

lows:

Start mode = Extern

If the

Restart Method

option is selected in the

Method / Method Setup /

Processing

menu, the time program is restarted at the end of the

program. If the

Restart Method

option is not selected in the

The time program is stored as program type

number of

cycles = 1

. The time program and the parameters are sent again to

the 732 IC Detector at the end of the chromatogram. Therefore,

program and parameters can be changed during a running

method, but the changes are not effective until the next cycle.
