• Yellow

  The lamp is on.

The color indicates the status of the UV lamp:

• Gray

  The lamp is off.

• Purple flash

Denotes a UV lamp with a lamp tag. The tooltip shows the information on the lamp tag. Color coding is as above.

The HDR-DAD Cluster shows two lamps; each lamp has its own lamp tag.

Denotes a detector cell with a cell tag. The tooltip shows the information on the cell tag. This graphic is present only when the detector cell includes a cell tag.

Denotes the HDR-DAD Cluster cells: long (upper) and short (lower). Each cell includes a cell tag.

When balancing is in progress, the graphic is yellow (not ready).

If spectra are being acquired, the acquisition range is displayed under the graphic.

Actuals

The DAD actuals shows a table of the current signals in six columns:

Channel	The signal definition: A..E G1315A/B A..H G1315C/D, G4212A/B, G7115A and G7117A/B/C
WL	The signal wavelength (in nm).
BW	The bandwidth of the signal wavelength (in nm).
RefWL	The reference wavelength (in nm) or off.
RefBW	The bandwidth of the reference wavelength (in nm) or off.
mAU	The signal output (in mAU).

Context Menu

The context menu contains the following commands:

Control	Displays the detector's Control dialog box.
Method	Displays the detector's Method Setup dialog box.
Error Method	Set Error Method Sets the error method to the method that is currently available in the hardware. The error methods are loaded automatically on all modules if an error occurs. Clear Error Method Removes the currently loaded error method.
Identify Device	Single DAD Causes the LED on the front of the device to blink for a few seconds. HDR-DAD Cluster Displays a submenu that allows you to identify either each individual device or all devices in the cluster: Selecting an individual device from the submenu causes the LED on the front of the selected device to blink for a few seconds. Selecting All from the submenu causes the LEDs of all devices in the cluster to blink.
Balance	Balances the detector.
Switch on	Ignites the UV lamp.
Switch off	Switches off the UV lamp.
Switch on	Switches on the Vis lamp. This item is present only when the detector includes a Vis lamp.
Switch off	Switches off the Vis lamp. This item is present only when the detector includes a Vis lamp.
Illumination on with UV lamp	(G7117A/B and G4212A/B only) Specifies that, the next time the UV lamp is switched on, the module illumination LED is also switched on. This command is present only when the UV lamp is switched off.
Illumination off	(G7117A/B and G4212A/B only) Switches off the module illumination LED. This command is present only when both the UV lamp and the module illumination LED are switched on.
