Control device for chromatograph apparatus

A non-transitory computer readable medium recording a program for making a computer function as a control device for controlling a chromatograph apparatus having both an analytical function using a liquid chromatograph and an analytical function using a supercritical fluid chromatograph, wherein the program is configured to make the computer realize:

• a first-type method file creation function of creating a first-type method file according to an instruction from a user, the first-type method file describing a condition of an analysis by the liquid chromatograph;
• a second-type method file creation function of creating a second-type method file according to an instruction from a user, the second-type method file describing a condition of an analysis by the supercritical fluid chromatograph;
• and
• a batch file creation function of creating a batch file according to an instruction from a user, the batch file including a plurality of records describing a plurality of method files, with one method file in each record, the plurality of method files including a first-type method-file group followed by a second-type method-file group, or the second-type method-file group followed by the first-type method-file group, the first-type method-file group consisting of a plurality of the first-type method files, and the second-type method-file group consisting of a plurality of the second-type method files.

A method for creating a batch file for controlling a chromatograph apparatus having an analytical function using a liquid chromatograph and an analytical function using a supercritical fluid chromatograph, the method comprising the steps of:

• creating a first-type method file according to an instruction from a user, the first-type method file describing a condition of an analysis by the liquid chromatograph;
• creating a second-type method file according to an instruction from a user, the second-type method file describing a condition of an analysis by the supercritical fluid chromatograph;
• and
• creating a batch file according to an instruction from a user, the batch file including a plurality of records describing a plurality of method files, with one method file in each record, the plurality of method files including a first-type method-file group followed by a second-type method-file group, or the second-type method-file group followed by the first-type method-file group, the first-type method-file group consisting of a plurality of the first-type method files, and the second-type method-file group consisting of a plurality of the second-type method files.
