• Module Status — PeakTrak displays the module status
to the right of the menu. Status messages may include:
• The current operation mode
• current position in a run, expressed in time or column
volumes
• current %B solvent mix
• peak status

• current time and date.
• Main region — This area is where you can view or
modify method file settings. Frequently used method
settings are displayed on the MAIN WINDOW [4.3.1].
Advanced method settings are displayed on the METHOD
EDITOR [4.3.2] window.
Many of the PEAKTRAK WINDOWS [4.3] contain these main
elements, or a subset of them. Note that the available
commands and options will change according to the active
window, the state of the module, and the current file.
4.1.2 Method File
PeakTrak controls the separation runs performed by the
module through a Method file. The module uses the method
file to direct the module operation after you click the Play
button.
PeakTrak categorizes the method settings as Basic or
Advanced. Basic settings are the frequently used controls
accessed through the MAIN WINDOW [4.3.1]. Use the METHOD
EDITOR [4.3.2] window to access the Advanced settings.
Method files are stored by the module and can be opened for
review, reuse, or modification. To open a method file, use the
FILE>OPEN [4.2.1.2] menu command. Method files can be
transferred to the module from an external storage device
using the FILE>IMPORT METHOD [4.2.1.9] menu command.
Method files use an *.mtd filename extension.
