Setting Up a Method using Edit Entire Method
Setting Up a Method using Edit Entire Method
All method procedures and setups are described for the 1290 Infinity Binary 
Pump. They can be executed in an equivalent way for the 1290 Infininty 
Quaternary Pump.
A method in the ChemStation contains all the parameters for Data Acquisition 
(controlling the system) and Data Analysis (processing the data to give 
quantitative and qualitative results). The parameters are accessed through a 
series of screens which each focus on one module or function. These screens 
are accessed by clicking an icon on the graphical user interface (GUI) or 
through the menu bar with its drop-down menus. A new method can be 
created by loading and editing an existing method, or it can be created by 
loading and editing the blank template method DEF_LC.M.
To change only a few parameters, you can go directly to the relevant setup 
pages for the parameters to be altered. Less experienced users may find it 
easier to use the Edit Entire Method function as this automatically steps through 
the pages. This is accessed through the menu Method > Edit Entire Method, and 
opens the Check Method Sections to Edit dialog:
