Empower Tip: Empower Walk-Up Interface

In this tip, we will conclude this series and review the options available when configuring the Walk-Up Interface. These options allow the selection of default settings to suit the needs of the laboratory (or any environment) using this interface.

From the ‘View’ menu there are a variety of dropdown selections.

Systems: Allows the selection of a different system for data acquisition

Instrument Status: Displays the System Status of the currently selected system

Real-Time Plot: Displays the Run Samples window (there is a user privilege associated with this selection)

Message Center: Opens the Message Center

Options: Equivalent to clicking Options button located next to the Run Time

Properties: Discussed in Steps 2 thru 7.

Let’s look at the additional options and default settings accessible by selecting Properties:

Passwords: Add password protection to the Properties so that users cannot change the defaults.

Project: Select a project that users would be automatically connected to when they log in.

System: Select a chromatographic system that users would be automatically connected to when they log in.

Defaults: Set default values for injection volume, run time, suitability mode and shutdown method amongst others.

Labels: Change the title of various fields, similar to changing column properties in a table.

Manage Sequence Name: Add or remove sequences that could be selected when running a previously run Sample Set.

It’s that easy!
