Starting the hardware and software

When the Alliance iS HPLC System hardware is running, start the Empower software.

To start the hardware and software:

1. Unlock or power-on the Alliance iS HPLC System. (If the system is powered-down, see Powering-on the system.)
2. From the touchscreen, tap the Commands button in the left-hand pane.
   The Commands view appears.
3. Ensure that Detector Lamp status is Lamp is on or Lamp is warming.
   If the status is Lamp is off, tap the bulb button and hold it as the timer counts down. Then wait for the status to progress from Lamp is warming to Lamp is on.

   Note: Allow 30-60 minutes for the detector lamp to warm up. For this reason, using the Detector Lamp command to turn on the lamp is preferable to turning it on during the setup process.
4. Start Empower at the workstation.
5. Open Run Samples.
   The Empower control panel starts automatically in the status pane.
6. From the control panel, start the Alliance iS HPLC System console by clicking the right-arrow in the upper-right corner.

   From the console, you can access configuration, diagnostics, and detailed statuses for all parts of the system.

7. If necessary, open the Empower project needed for the analysis.
