Abstract
A new and improved controller for creating a linear gradient dual solvent flow pattern in a dual pump liquid chromatography system wherein one pump pumps one solvent and the other pump pumps the second solvent, the controller comprising a clock for producing a timing signal; digiswitches for providing first and second digital signals representative of initial and final values for one of two solvents; a difference circuit for producing a third digital signal representative of the difference between the initial and final values; a digiswitch for providing a fourth digital signal representative of the time duration of the linear gradient; a binary divider for regulating the timing signal to produce a signal proportional to the fourth digital signal; a binary rate multiplier for proportioning the regulated timing signal to the third digital signal; circuitry for producing a fifth digital signal from the proportional regulated timing signal, whereby the fifth digital signal represents the dividend of the third digital signal divided by the fourth digital signal; and circuitry for inputting signals to each of the pumps to set the flow rates thereof, said circuitry being regulated by said fifth digital signal.
