Chemstation and Macros

Hi
I'm using the latest Chemstation and am having a problem getting macros to run.
In the run time checklist, I check "post run macros" and put in PUMPOFF. This is supposed to be a built-in macro. But, it doesn't run. My pump doesn't turn off at the end of the sequence.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Try "Standby" instead of "Pumpall".

Standby worked. Thanks!
I thought Pumpoff was supposed to be built in as well. I'm looking to keep my lamps on.
Thank you

Yes, Pumpall "should" turn off the pump and leave the lamp on. I'd try it again. And re-boot all if necessary, and try again. We use both here, and both work, on Chemstations from A.06 to A.09.

If you are running a sequence, you can also specify in the Sequence Parameters. There are several options.

Thanks! The Pumpoff macro works when put into Sequence Parameters, but not into the run time checklist. As long as it works somewhere!
ChemStation Macro

Actually it's a command, not a macro. The command to put in post run is "Pumpall Off". There is a macro in the core directory, Shutdown.mac, which can be modified to do the post run or post sequence settings required. As written it sends the Standby command which shuts off all lamps and pumps.

Pumpall off worked once I restarted the computer.
Thanks!

I know this thread is old, but I'm hoping someone has an answer.
In the handheld Agilent controller, you have the option, upon finishing a sequence, to have one of several things happen - pump off, pump and lamp off, whole system off, etc. What I want to do is, upon finishing a sequence in Chemstation, shut off the pump and the lamp, but leave the column compartment heater on. Anyone know how to do this?
