Resolution

When the autosampler is operated from Chromeleon:

  • The message is displayed also in the Chromeleon Audit Trail.
  • Some messages in the table are identical for the different drives.
  • In the Chromeleon Audit Trail, these messages start with the drive to which the message relates: Carousel, syringe drive, needle drive, or horizontal drive. Therefore, in the table, these messages are listed as: (Drive): message.
  • To remove messages from the autosampler display, you can perform also the ClearDisplayError command in Chromeleon.
  • The PrevNext, and Clear keys appear on the navigation bar:
To … Select … 
Return to the previous message. Prev
Proceed to the next message. Next
Remove the message from the display.  Clear

 

  • These keys are active also when the autosampler is connected in Chromeleon.
  • The table lists autosampler-related messages along with appropriate remedial actions.
  • In addition to the messages in the table, other messages may appear.
  • If you are unable to eliminate the problem, note the exact wording of the message.
  • If the autosampler is operated from Chromeleon and if communication between Chromeleon and the autosampler cannot be established, messages appear in the Chromeleon Audit Trail.
