1. A method of controlling a combinatorial chemical reactor, the reactor comprising a plurality of reactor vessels, each vessel having a reaction environment, the method comprising the steps of:

  • receiving a set point for a property associated with each vessel'"'"'s reaction environment;

    measuring the property for each vessel'"'"'s reaction environment to obtain measured values;

    simultaneously displaying the measured values associated with the contents of each of the plurality of reactor vessels in a tabular array corresponding to the plurality of reactor vessels; and

    changing the reaction environment in one or more of the plurality of reactor vessels as a function of the set point and the measured values;

    terminating a reaction occurring in one or more of the vessels as a function of the set point and the measured values; and

    displaying a histogram of the measured values simultaneously with the displaying of the tabular array.
