Universal Control Scripts

Operate instruments from multiple manufacturers with the same Chromeleon^® instrument control program.

Creating and maintaining methods for different instruments used to be a hassle. You had to deal with different control protocols and terminology, and work around the idiosyncrasies of each device. Training operators and keeping them from making mistakes wasn't easy, and the only way to transfer a method from one system to another was to re-create the method on the target system.

Chromeleon changes all that. Its universal control scripts let you use exactly the same commands and programs to operate equipment from different suppliers, simplifying your job, and making methods portable between similar instruments. Any differences between the instruments are automatically handled by Chromeleon's device drivers, so you can focus your attention on your broader objectives without being distracted by peripheral details.

No other software makes chromatography automation so easy and so powerful.

Control diverse instruments using a single unified command language.

Chromeleon's universal control scripts are easy to edit. Conveniently add or modify instructions by selecting from the "Commands" dialog box.

Use Chromeleon's log command to automatically record, in the system's audit trail, the status of any system parameter (such as pump pressure or lamp intensity) at any desired time.

Detailed Instrument Audit Trails

View a complete log of all instrument events at any time—even in real time as your instrument runs.

Whether or not your laboratory is regulated, you need to know what your instruments did and when they did it. Chromeleon^® automatically generates detailed logs that record every control command, every instrument response, every operator action, and every alert related to the generation of your raw data, regardless of whose instruments you use.

View the events from an entire day or just those that correspond to a selected sequence or sample, and adjust the level of detail displayed to make it easy to spot events of interest. Include the event log in single-sample or summary reports, so that your results are delivered with full details of how they were obtained. You can even monitor the list of events in real time as your instrument runs, so you always know exactly what your system has been doing, even if you have been interrupted by a visitor or the telephone.

Chromeleon's instrument event logs automatically provide the detailed tracking you need for regulatory compliance and peace of mind.

For every instrument, Chromeleon automatically maintains a detailed record of all control instructions, instrument responses, and other significant events. View audit trails at any of four levels of detail.

View instrument event logs in real time as samples are analyzed.

The subset of an event log that pertains to a specific sample can be easily viewed and reported, together with other data and metadata from that sample.

The log command dialog lets you automatically record, in the system's audit trail, the status of any system parameter (such as pump pressure or lamp intensity) at any desired time.
