BioOptix™ 10

Appendix A Method Templates

		Additional rules should be observed and are described in the fol-
		lowing sections.
A.2.2	[Blocks]	The count in this section should equal the total number of blocks
		in the template. When generating a method, the number of tabs
		created will equal the count value. The acceptable value range is
		1 to 10.
A.2.3	[Blockn]	This section specifies what information appears on a tab. A sep-
		arate [Blockn] must be used for each tab in the method file, incre-
		menting n by one (Block1, Block2, Block3, … Block10). The n
		value determines the tab order.
		The contents of a Blockn include:
		• Name – This text entry is used to label the tab. Up to 20
		characters can be used to provide a descriptive title.
		• Type – This text entry is limited to three options which
		determine the controls that will appear on the tab.
		· Fluid – This type provides controls for pumping an
		isocratic mix of buffer solution. An example of a Fluid
		tab can be seen in Figure 3-2.
		· Load – This type provides controls to pump liquid
		sample onto the column, or to allow a manual
		injection. An example of a Load tab can be seen in
		Figure 3-3.
		· Gradient – This type is used to reference a Gradient
		file and provides controls for the flow rate. An
		example of a Gradient tab can be seen in Figure 3-5.
		• AskPause – This text entry enables the option to Pause
		at End of the block. If this block in the method should
		allow a choice to pause the operation, enter Yes. Enter
		No to disable the choice. When disabled, the BioOptix 10
		automatically proceeds to the next block.
A.2.4	[Other]	This section contains the UV detection wavelength setting. This
		value assigns a default wavelength for the method. Note that all
		blocks use the same wavelength setting.
