Analytical Sequences
Special considerations when using an integrator
232
No sequence
If the sequence is off or not defined, the sequence control status will state no
sequence.
To correct this, use the [Seq] key to define a sequence or turn the sequence
parameters on.
Special considerations when using an integrator
The definitions of sequence are not the same in the 6890 Series GC and in the
3396 integrator. The following points must be considered when sequences are
used with this GC/integrator combination:
• The integrator has only one subsequence plus the priority sequence. Only
one GC method can be used within an integrator sequence.
• The ALS method parameters are prepared using the [Front injector] and
[Back injector] keys on the 6890 keyboard.
• The sample information table is prepared on the integrator.
• The injection sequence parameters can be prepared either with the [Seq]
key on the 6890 keyboard or in the [PREP][SEQ] dialog of the 3396. Setting
sequence parameters on either instrument changes the sequence in both
places.
• The Start sequence function on the GC is inactive.
• A sequence must be started from the integrator using [SEQ][START].
• If you use INET, pressing the stop key on either instrument stops the run
and aborts the sequence.
• If you use cable # 03396-61010 instead of INET, the two stop keys have
different effects. The [STOP] key on the integrator stops the current run and
aborts the sequence. Stop on the GC stops the current run, but the sequence
continues as soon as the GC becomes Ready.
