This book describes how to operate the Agilent 1100/1200/1260/1290 Series

modules and systems for HPLC using the handheld control module Agilent Instant

Pilot G4208A.

The Instant Pilot provides complete local control and monitoring of a single

module or an entire Agilent 1100/1200/1260 and 1290 Series HPLC system. There

is no data evaluation in the Instant Pilot. The Instant Pilot allows you to do a variety

of HPLC tasks including automated sample preparation and injection, isocratic,

gradient and multiple method analyses and basic diagnostics and maintenance.

Instant Pilot Features

Figure 1 The Agilent Instant Pilot

The Agilent Instant Pilot (IP) provides complete local control and monitoring of a

single module or an entire Agilent 1100/1200/1260/1290 Series HPLC system.

You have easy access to every supported function, you can easily control all

parameters and settings and you can configure various communication channels

with other devices, in order to comfortably analyze the generated data.

•Color display, size 13.1 x 9.9 cm (5.0 x 3.8 inch), 640 x 480 dots

•Install any desired configuration of Agilent 1100/1200/1260/1290 Series

HPLC modules. The Instant Pilot software will reflect which modules are

present in the LC system and adjust the screens accordingly.

•Enter parameter settings for every module, perform on/off functions as well

as calibration and configuration settings in a self- explanatory and intuitive

way.

•Define automated analyses including methods, timetables, method

sequences and automated calibration settings using the Instant Pilot.

•Use the configurable status screen to monitor various activities on a single

screen.

•Easy configuration of the system and/or modules.

Instant Pilot Features

•Protect your method from any inadvertent keyboard changes by setting

method file protection.

•Use USB Flash Drive to store and transfer methods and sequences between

Agilent systems.

•Monitor all operations and error events using the self- updating logbooks.

•Use the context- sensitive online information system to get further

information on all topics.

•To help comply with Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) regulations, select a

variety of module tests that will check the performance of the LC system.

•Use the early maintenance feedback (EMF) limits for scheduling maintenance

work.

•Display data graphically using the Plot screen, where as many as four

different signals can be monitored at the same time.

•Printing to an USB Flash Drive.

•Version A.05.15 is compatible with 1100/1200 modules that run on firmware

A.05.11/13 and A.05.09/10 (introduced November 2006).

NOTE

Firmware revision A.05.13/14 does not run on Instant Pilot modules with serial

numbers starting with MY due to new flash ROM type that does not allow

downgrades to B.02.07 and below. This was fixed with firmware A.05.15 and

B.02.15.
