Simple valve—column selection
This is the plumbing for a single valve, configured as a switching valve, that
selects one of two columns for analysis. It has no configuration parameters.
Figure 32 A column selection valve
The column is selected by pressing [Valve #] <scroll to valve 2> [On] (for the
front column) or [Off] (for the back column). This run table ensures that the
valve is in the Off state between runs:
Gas sampling valve
If a valve is configured as a gas sampling valve, it starts a run automatically when
it is switched to the Inject position. This can be done with a keyboard command
or by a subsequence or clock table entry. You may have two gas sampling valves
installed.
