• If the valve is plugged or the sample is viscous, the switching time may be
too short for the valve to switch. Increase the switching time.
Other not ready messages
Diagnostics mode
The GC is not ready when it is in diagnostics mode. The instrument is in
diagnostics mode whenever a Diagnostics control table has been accessed
through the [Options] key.
Exit the Diagnostics section of the keyboard for the GC to become ready.
External device
An instrument that is part of the start/stop bus is not ready. For example, the
automatic liquid sampler is not ready to begin injecting. The GC becomes ready
when the other instruments on the bus are ready.
Host system
The GC is not ready if the integrator, Agilent ChemStation, or other controller
is not ready to begin a run. It becomes ready when the host does.
Front inlet purging
Back inlet purging
This applies only if you have a split/splitless inlet. The message appears if you
try to start a run while the inlet purge valve is still in the split mode.
The inlet remains not ready and purging continues until you press the [Prep Run]
key. Pressing [Prep Run] closes the valve (it also turns off the gas saver mode
and increases pressure for a pressure pulse, if selected).
