Clarity Dual Chromatogram Mode operation

This chapter describes the basic operating principles for working within the Clarity Dual Chromatogram Mode. Some operations overlap with the standard mode procedures; in such cases, you will be referred to detailed descriptions of the standard operations in the Clarity User Guide.

The typical workflow for individuals conducting routine analyses in the Dual Chromatogram Mode should include:

1. Setting the Instrument to the Dual Chromatogram Mode

In the System Configuration, enable the Dual Chromatogram Mode and assign Detector Signals to the Front and Back positions. For more details, see Installation & Setup - Dual Chromatogram Mode topic.

2. Creating a method

• In the Method Setup dialog, create a new method, or adapt an already existing one to the Dual Chromatogram Mode configuration.
• Set the acquisition parameters for all controlled devices.
• Fill in the Run Time on the Measurement tab.
• If you want to calibrate the results, for each detector signal position ⓐ, set different Calibration Files ⓑ. Also, fill in the name of cloned calibration ⓒ for both positions if calibration cloning will be performed.
  
  The User Guide - Create Calibration topic contains detailed instructions on how to create a calibration.
• Fill in any other necessary method parameters (e.g., auxiliary signals settings).

The method development is in principle the same as described in the User Guide - Setting up a method topic.

3. Creating & running a Sequence

Prepare sequence according to your needs. Do not forget to fill in a unique file name for both detector signal positions.

Preparation of a sequence is in principle the same as described in the User Guide - Creating and running a sequence topic.
