Tuning
Typical values of Tuning Parameters in the Cool Mode
(with ShieldTorch, Micro Flow Nebulizer, self-aspiration)
Typical values of Sensitivity (Cool Mode)
NOTE When the plasma is 600 W, the plasma may turn off when the tune file is loaded
during the transition between Standby to Analysis mode. If this happens increase the
RF power in the tune screen to 800 W and then re try plasma ignition
It is also possible to tune in cool mode by using Autotune (Page 4-102).
