Operating the MSD from the GC Control Panel
This section only applies to the 5977B MSD. For earlier 5975/5977 MSD models,
refer to “Operating the 5975/5977 MSD From the Local Control Panel (LCP)” on
page 84.
The 7890B GC control panel can show the actual temperature and pressure of
the MSD or initiate a task on the MSD without using the Agilent OpenLAB CDS
software. You can access functions, such as venting and setting temperatures,
right from the GC control panel. Limited features are available from the GC
control panel. The OpenLAB CDS software is the full-featured controller for most
instrument control operations.
MSD designated key on the GC control panel
The MS/Aux Det key on the 7890B GC control panel allows access to control and
configuration parameters on the MSD. For older 7890 models with updated
firmware, this key is labeled Aux Det #. which can be substituted for the
MS/Aux Det key in the procedures that follow.
