Chromatography configuration interface

摘要

Systems and methods that facilitate the setup and visualization of a configurable process, for example a chromatography experiment to be conducted using a configurable chromatography system. A user interface displays category regions representing sections of a process, and displays a plurality of selectable items representing components appropriate for placement in the category regions. A user interface control causes selection of one of the selectable items and placement of the selected item into one of the category regions, to define a selected process configuration. The user interface control may be a scrolling control that causes a set of selectable items appropriate for placement in the respective category region to scroll through the category region. When the computer displaying the user interface is also connected to the system being configured, the user interface may also facilitate setup, monitoring, and control of the resulting process.

1. A graphical user interface generated by a processor and displayed on an electronic display screen for selecting from a plurality of available process configurations, the graphical user interface comprising:
a plurality of adjacent category regions for displaying representing sections of a process for each of the category regions, a plurality of dynamically selectable items representing different types of a respective component appropriate for placement in the respective represented section of the process being configured, and a control that causes selection of one of the selectable items and placement of the selected item into the respective one of the category regions; wherein the set of items currently selected in the plurality of category regions defines a selected process configuration.
