Sequence

Summarizes commands for the control of the running sequence. The majority of these commands is also placed on the toolbar by default.

Note:

If icons representing these commands are disabled, the tooltip may help in discovering the reason of the disablement.

Run Invoking this command or using the icon or Ctrl + Q shortcut runs the sequence. The command is only active when the sequence is not in the RUNNING state. Before the sequence is run, the validity check is performed. All methods used in Active sequence must: The Run command invokes dialog with options to: Reset, Resume or Cancel. Reset command, resets the status of all lines in the Sequence Table (all fields in the Status column will turn green).
Running a partially measured sequence using the Resume command starts the measurement from the first non-measured line, while running it using the Run command the entire sequence will be measured again.
The station automatically checks the entire sequence upon its start. During the measurement only the currently used line is checked in this way, which means that the sequence can be modified during the run.
User has to have Start Acquisition right to be able to perform this option.
Pause Using the Pause command, icon or Ctrl + Space bar shortcut suspends the active sequence. A suspended sequence does not allow injections and does not react to an external start signal issued.
The status of the sequence after the use of the Pause command depends on the status of the sequence before invoking the command:
WAITING, IDLE sequence is turned to PAUSED status.
RUNNING sequence is turned to the PAUSED status only after the data acquisition of the current analysis is completed (the intermediate status is RUNNING/PAUSE).
Resume

Using this command, icon or the Ctrl + Space bar shortcut resumes the operation of a suspended sequence. The sequence status becomes IDLE or WAITING and, accordingly, the signal that allows the injection defined on the next row will either be sent immediately or after the Idle time has passed.
When returning to the IDLE state, the sequence counts the time from the moment it was set to the PAUSED state.
When the Resume command is used while in the RUNNING/PAUSE state, the planned pause of the sequence will be canceled.
If you run a partially measured sequence using the Resume command, measurement continues from the first line that wasn't measured yet. If you run it using Run, the entire sequence will be measured again.

User has to have Start Acquisition right to be able to perform this option.
Abort Sequence or Acquisition Invoking this command or using the icon or Ctrl + B shortcut immediately aborts the running sequence. Any data acquisition in progress will be interrupted, the results will not be processed, and the sequence will be terminated.
Stop Sequence or Acquisition Using the command, icon or Ctrl + T shortcut halts the running sequence. Currently running analysis will be completed (the actual state will change to Running/stop).
If the Stop command is used for the second time, it will stop the running analysis.
Repeat Injection

Invoking this command or using the icon or Ctrl + ← shortcut interrupts the actual measurement and repeats the injection (runs the analysis according to the row in the Sequence Table). If the sequence is in the PAUSED state before using the Repeat Injection, triggering the command will repeat the measurement of last completed injection.

User has to have Start Acquisition right to be able to perform this option.
Skip Vial

Using this command, icon or Ctrl + ↓ shortcut terminates the analysis of active vial and also omits all remaining injections using the current vial defined on the same row of the Sequence Table. This command works principally in the same way as the Abort command does, but only for the currently measured sample. The sequence continues with the measurement of the next vial.
The line containing skipped injections will be indicated in the Status column by light blue color.
Potential re-measurement of skipped vials has to be done manually (e.g. by creating a new line in the Sequence Table).

User has to have Start Acquisition right to be able to perform this option.
Check Sequence This command performs a check of every row in the Sequence Table for potential errors. These may be attempt to use a non-existent method or print style, incorrectly set control parameters, prohibited chromatogram name entered etc. The check same as the one invoked by the Check Sequence command is automatically performed on the start of the sequence measurement.
During a measurement, only the line currently being measured is checked. Manual use of the Check Sequence command allows the user to test the whole sequence, for example after modifying the sequence while it is running to verify that all changes are correct.
Snapshot

Invoking the command, icon or Ctrl + H shortcut processes and shows the data from currently measured sample without terminating the measurement. This command is identical to the Snapshot command from the Single Analysis dialog. The snapshot chromatogram will be automatically replaced by another snapshot or the final chromatogram after the analysis is finished.

Sample counter %n, if used, will be incremented (only once) in the chromatogram name, even though more Snapshots are used and the resulting chromatogram is either created or not.

Options… When invoked, opens the Sequence Options dialog used for defining the sequence parameters.
Edit Current Method… Displays and modifies the method defined on the row of the Sequence Table with currently active field. The command opens the Method Setup - Measurement dialog. The operation may also be performed by the Edit Method… command from the local menu for the given row of the Sequence Table.
Edit Current Report Style… Displays and modifies the report style set on the row of the Sequence Table with currently active field. The command opens the Report Setup dialog. The operation may also be performed by the Edit Report… command from the local menu for the given row of the Sequence Table.
