Pause and Hold functions for LC module

[martin stoklas]

For the Biochromatography analyses (and possibly also other applications), the addition of two functions into the LC module would be most welcome:

„Pause“ – this function stops the instrument until it is released from the state by applying the same command again. The flow is stopped, the acquisition is stopped and the gradient is stopped too. After the deactivation, the analysis will continue from the point in which the analysis was paused.

„Hold“ - this function freezes the conditions of the chromatography system (gradient) for the time the function is active. The flow is maintained at the actually set value, as is the gradient composition, but unlike for the "Pause" function, the acquisition follows onwards. After the deactivation of the function, the analysis will continue from the point in which the analysis was held.

I see that this function might be interesting for the preparative chromatography too - I have added a poll, and changed the thread name and description of the functions. Feel free to vote for the function.

This function would be very useful in preparative applications.
