1 Introduction
18 5977B Series MSD Operating Manual
Vacuum gauge
The MSD may be equipped (or ordered) with an ion vacuum gauge. The Agilent
MassHunter GC/MS Acquisition software can be used to read the pressure
(high vacuum) in the vacuum manifold. Operation of the gauge controller is
described in this manual. The gauge is required for CI operation.
