runtime. The injection cycle will not be started. This procedure reduces the total
injection time without interfering with the current run.
By choosing the Overlap Injection Cycle option the next vial will be placed in the
injection port after the selected elapsed runtime. The following restrictions apply
when using the Overlap option:
• The elapsed runtime entry before the sample is processed must not interfere with
the current running analysis.
• Overlapping works only for a given vial range (e.g. within one sequence line).
• The first run for a new vial range is done without overlap.
• Injector programs using valve switching commands must not be executed when
overlapping is selected. They will fail with an error message. Since all injector
programs created with the Agilent ChemStation require such commands in order
to function correctly, none of them will work in the overlap mode.
The screen also allows you to enable/disable the option ’always keep transport arm
next to last used vial’.
Setting up the Thermostatted Autosampler
If a thermostatted autosampler is part of your system you can enter specific setting
using the Thermostat option in the settings screen.
Using this option you can set the temperature of the airflow into the autosampler.
This setting is available in the Analysis screen, too. Activate the check box to have
the temperature controlled as soon as the cooled autosampler is turned on.
Using the More ... option in the Settings screen and selecting Signals you can
choose among several thermostat parameters (ambient temperature, heat sink, heat
sink fan etc.) that will be referred to as “Autosampler: Auxiliary” in the Plot -
Signals screen. This allows you to access a variety of thermostatted autosampler
signals without overloading the Available Signals list box (see “Plot Screen” on
page 30).
