What is the difference between; 'LINEX-Liquid Injection' and 'LINEX' method?

LINEX Method:

The LINEX method in Evolution Workstation is a special method for the liner exchanger. In a normal situation there is a pressure in the inlet in order to have a column flow. When the top of the inlet is opened the pressure is released. This can result in liners jumping, sample is blown out of the liner or the packing material of the liner comes loose and is blown out of the liner.

The LINEX method is made to overcome these problems. The LINEX method will do the following steps: first initialise (flows and temperature are set), once all parameters are set the OPTIC gives a Ready signal to the PAL and the pressure in the inlet is set to 0, the PAL will change the liner and gives a Start signal to the OPTIC, the OPTIC will build up the column flow (pressure) and once the flow is reached it will continue the temperature program.

LINEX-Liquid Injection:

The LINEX-Liquid Injection is made to exchange liners and after changing the liner inject into this liner.

It will do the following steps: first initialise (flows and temperature are set), once all parameters are set the OPTIC gives a Ready signal to the PAL and the pressure in the inlet is set to 0, the PAL will change the liner and gives a Start signal to the OPTIC, the OPTIC will build up the column flow (pressure) and will wait for the next Start signal from the PAL, this time the start from the PAL is done when the liquid injection is done.
