7 Data Acquisition Using Agilent Instrument
Controllers
When you start a run or a sequence from a client workstation,
you are actually submitting that run or sequence to the
Agilent Instrument Controller (AIC) or EZServer where the
instrument is attached. Once you have submitted a run or
sequence, the AIC assumes control over the acquisition and
control functions. All methods and sequences are copied to
the AIC when a run queue item is submitted to the server. If
the network goes down, the Agilent Instrument Controller
will continue to run with the files it has on its hard disk.
User access to runs in progress
As the user who submitted the run or sequence, you will have
access to the Stop Run, Extend Run, or Stop Sequence
functions. If you are not the user who submitted the run or
sequence, you can view the run (if you have instrument
rights), but you cannot stop a run or sequence that has been
started by another user. Users with System Administration
or Instrument Administration rights have full access to the
run and sequence functions.
Once you have submitted a run or sequence to an AIC from a
client workstation, you can modify the method. You must save
the file (File>Method>Save) in order for the changes to be
used for subsequent sequence runs that use this method. If
more than one client changes and saves the method, the last
client’s changes are saved and all others are lost. If the
method is not saved before the start of the next sequence run
using this method, the changes on a client will be lost when
the next sequence run starts.
The user who submitted a sequence to the AIC may add or
remove runs from the submitted sequence from a client
