If the Instrument Controller Service is stopped, start it by following these steps:
1.
Right-click the Chromeleon tray icon in the notification area of the Windows taskbar.
2.
Click
Start Chromeleon Instrument Controller
.
Tip:
If the Chromeleon tray icon is not visible on the taskbar, click Start, point to Programs (or All Programs, depending on the operating system), open the Chromeleon 7 folder and click
Services Manager.
Note
: You can configure the Chromeleon Instrument
Controller Service to automatically start every time the computer is switched on. See the
Controlling Instruments and
Modules
section of the Chromeleon Help for more information.
2.3.2
Establishing a Connection
Before you can control an instrument, communication must be established between the modules and the Chromeleon
Instrument Controller. This is referred to as
Connecting the
Modules
.
To connect the modules follow these steps:
1.
In the
Console
, choose the
Instruments
category and click your instrument’s name in the
Navigation Pane
.
2.
Select the ePanel tab for the required module in the
Work
Area
(for example
Pump
).
Page 6 Quick Start Guide

3.
On the
ePanel
, click
Connect
.
Note:
The ePanel sets are generated automatically to support modules from a specific instrument series (e.g., UltiMate
3000, ICS-5000). When combining modules from these instruments, ePanels for some modules may not be displayed automatically. See Managing ePanel Sets and ePanels in the
Chromeleon Help for details on manually adding ePanels to a set.
2.3.3
Controlling and Monitoring the Instrument
Usually, samples are analyzed as part of a sequence using a predefined set of instrument commands stored in an Instrument
Method. Sometimes (typically between sequence runs) it is necessary to issue individual commands to the instrument modules, such as for starting or stopping the flow, setting eluent composition, switching on or off the detector lamp, or monitoring the baseline.
To issue instrument commands follow these steps:
1.
In the
Console
, choose the
Instruments
category. Select the instrument by clicking its name in the
Navigation Pane
.
2.
In the
Work Area
select the ePanel tab for the required module.
3.
Use the controls on the
ePanel
to issue instrument commands (for example setting the wavelength of a UV/VIS detector or starting mobile phase flow on a pump).
When an analysis is running, you can monitor instrument parameters and outputs, such as the detector signal output or pump pressure, from the module’s ePanel. To monitor the detector signals without starting a sequence, click
Monitor
Quick Start Guide Page 7
Chromeleon 7
Baseline
on the toolbar above the ePanel set. Click the same button again to stop monitoring the baseline. You can also save the monitor baseline data. For details see
Monitor the Baseline
in the Chromeleon Help.
Note:
Most common commands are available from the ePanels. If you need to execute a command that is not available you can access all available instrument commands from a dialog box that is accessible via the Command button
in the Instruments toolbar.
Tip:
For certain instruments, Chromeleon provides procedures for automatically starting or shutting down a chromatography system, or setting it into standby mode. These procedures are referred to as Smart Startup, Smart Shutdown, and Smart
Standby, respectively. For details of which instruments can be controlled in this way and how to use this functionality see
Smart Startup, Smart Shutdown, and Smart Standby in the
Chromeleon Help.

Processing Data
After chromatographic or mass spectrometry data has been acquired, it can be processed. All processing steps are performed in the
Studio
and saved in a processing method.
To open the Studio from the Console, double-click any object in a sequence, or click the Studio button.
Chromeleon has a variety of tools to simplify or speed up data processing tasks, such as
SmartPeaks
, but only the most common processing steps are described in this Quick Start Guide.
Note:
When you make a change in the processing method, the results for all injections in the sequence which use that processing method are recalculated instantaneously. There is no need to “reprocess” the sequence or manually update results.
2.6.1
Reviewing Data in the Chromatography Studio
After data for all samples in a sequence has been acquired, it is useful to review the chromatograms and peak data before reporting the results. Often, peak detection, integration and calibration settings need to be modified before results are
reported. See chapter 2.6.2 and onwards.
1.
In the Chromeleon Console, select the
Data
category.
2.
Open the first injection of the sequence in the

When performing Calibration and Quantification, it is essential that at least the calibration peaks in a chromatogram are named.
Page 26 Quick Start Guide
Chromeleon 7
The process of assigning a name to a component is called identification. The names and expected retention times of named components are stored in a Chromeleon component table.
The following sections describe how to:
•
Create a component table.
•
Update the expected retention times and windows.
2.6.4.1
Creating a Component Table

Quick Start Guide Page 29
Chromeleon 7
Tip:
Over a period of time, peak retention times may drift from their expected values. Because of this, it is sometimes useful to set wide peak windows in the component table.
When peak retention time drift is too large for this method to compensate, you can use the retention time of a previous peak for peak identification. For details on correcting for
Retention Time drift see Identify Peaks in the Chromeleon
Help.
2.6.4.2
Modifying Retention Times and Windows
You can modify the retention time and width of the peak window by modifying the properties in the component table or by dragging the peak window on the chromatogram plot.

is required before the analysis. The calibration coefficients obtained during calibration can then be used to calculate unknown amounts.
This section takes you through the steps required to perform a simple external standard calibration (using a single component standard at multiple concentrations). Chromeleon supports various methods of calibration including internal standards and standard addition. For information on using these methods of calibration, see
Calibration and Amount Calculation
in the
Chromeleon Help.
To perform a simple calibration in Chromeleon you need to:
• Specifiy which injections are Calibration Standards.
• Create Calibration Levels and assign these to the Calibration
Standards.

MS in Chromeleon
MS instrument control and data visualization / processing support are provided starting in Chromeleon 7.2. Many of the features that can be used for LC, IC and GC analysis can be used for MS analysis. This section describes the features which are unique to MS.
2.8.1
MS Instrument Control
Direct instrument control is governed by the MS driver and external program provided with the MS hardware. Please refer to the User Manual provided for your specific MS model for instructions on how to use the external program.
2.8.1.1
Creating an MS Instrument Method
Please refer to the User Manual provided with your specific hardware.
2.8.2

MS Peak Detection Algorithms
In addition to COBRA and Chromeleon 6 algorithms, two new algorithms are introduced – Genesis and ICIS.
•
Genesis:
This algorithm is generally used for processing data with noisy baseline such as MS full scan data. In some instances, the algorithm may also be used with non-MS data as well. These include, but are not limited to UV, CD, and ED data.
•
ICIS:
This algorithm is recommended when dealing with data with very low noise or abstracted data such as that acquired in SIM or SRM mode or extracted post-acquisition as XICs.
2.8.4.2
MS Detection Tab
On this tab page in the processing method, you can define default MS detection settings or detection settings on a component-by-component basis. In the Extracted Ion
Chromatogram dropdown, all components denoted with are using detection settings specific to that component. All other components use default MS detection parameters.
When selecting the ICIS and Genesis algorithms for the first time, all parameters come populated with recommended default values.
2.8.4.3
Component Table – Advanced Tab
In order to process and quantitate components using XICs from
MS data, you are required to define a special channel for the desired components.
In the
Channel
column of the component table, all components being quantitated using an XIC must be set to MS Quantitation
via the dropdown (Figure 12 and Figure 13).
