Quick Start Guide

Preparing the system

Turning the System ON

If the system is not already fully on with the software showing Ready status,

follow these steps:

1 Turn on the computer system and wait for the Windows desktop to appear.

2 Turn on the electrical power to the LC modules using the button at the

lower left of each module.

A green power on light will be visible in the center of the button.

3 Start the control software on the computer by clicking the icon (if

configured). Alternatively, you can select Start > All Programs > Agilent

Technologies > OpenLAB > OpenLAB Control Panel. Select the relevant

instrument in the navigation pane under Instruments, and click Launch online.

The ChemStation software opens in the Method and Run Control view. The

modules are initially in Standby mode and Not Ready status, except for the

autosampler which immediately initializes and becomes Ready.

4 To switch on each module individually, right-click the relevant icon and

select Switch [module name] on from the context menu.

Alternatively, you can turn on all modules simultaneously in the system by

clicking the System On/Off button in the bottom right of the system diagram.

The system status changes from Not Ready (yellow indication) to Ready

(green indication) after a short delay as the setpoints are attained.
