The Column Oven
Making a temperature-programmed run
Oven temperature programming setpoints
Temp Starting temperature of a temperature programmed run. When the
program begins, this value is copied into a temporary setpoint called Init
temp. At the end of the run, Temp is reset to the value in Init temp and
the oven returns to its starting temperature.
Init temp Equal to Temp except during a programmed run (Init temp
remains constant; Temp changes as directed by the program). Changing Init
temp changes the starting temperature for the next run. Changing Temp causes
an immediate change but the value is not saved to the next run.
Init time Time in minutes that the oven will stay at the starting temperature
after a programmed run has begun.
Rate The rate in °C/min at which the oven will be heated or cooled.
Final temp Temperature of the oven at the end of a heating or cooling rate.
Final time Time in minutes that the oven will be held at the final
temperature of a temperature-programmed rate.
Total length of a run is determined by its oven temperature program. The
maximum allowable time for a run is 999.99 minutes. If the program is still
running at that time, the run terminates.
