1. A computer implemented method comprising:
displaying, by a computer system, at least one graphic,
wherein the at least one graphic is one of an alarms graphic, a size graphic, a molar mass graphic, a presets graphic, an experiments graphic, and a settings graphic, on a display logically coupled to a light scattering measurement instrument, thereby resulting in a graphics page,
wherein the instrument is configured to measure at least one of dynamic light scattering, static light scattering, and electrophoretic light scattering, of at least one sample, resulting in a light scattering measurement;
in response to receiving, by the computer system, a selection command corresponding to the alarms graphic, displaying, by the computer system, on the display an alarms page;
in response to receiving, by the computer system, a selection command corresponding to the size graphic, displaying, by the computer system, on the display a size workflow page displaying a guided size workflow,
wherein the guided size workflow comprises size functions corresponding to size parameter commands to direct the instrument to take at least one size measurement in light of entered size parameter commands corresponding to the size functions;
in response to receiving, by the computer system, a selection command corresponding to the molar mass graphic, displaying, by the computer system, on the display a molar mass workflow page displaying a guided molar mass workflow,
wherein the guided molar mass workflow comprises molar mass functions to direct the instrument to take at least one molar mass measurement in light of entered molar mass parameter commands corresponding to the molar mass parameter commands;
in response to receiving, by the computer system, a selection command corresponding to the presets graphic, displaying, by the computer system, on the display a presets page configured to provide access to at least one saved workflow;
in response to receiving, by the computer system, a selection command corresponding to the experiments graphic, displaying, by the computer system, on the display an experiments page configured to display results obtained during at least one saved experiment and configured to provide access to the results; and
in response to receiving, by the computer system, a selection command corresponding to the settings graphic, displaying, by the computer system, on the display a settings page configured to display instrument settings and configured to allow for modifying at least one setting of the instrument.
