Agilent 7500 ICP-MS ChemStation Operator’s Manual

Configuration

If you have changed the system configuration, change the software settings

accordingly. When you start the Configuration task, the ICP-MS Configuration

dialog box appears, enter sample introduction settings such as whether to use a

peristaltic pump, autosampler, etc.

This chapter explains how to configure the ChemStation software.

Configuring the ChemStation Software

To configure the ChemStation, complete the following steps:

1 Click the Configuration short cut key, or click the Start button and select

Programs>>ICP-MS ChemStation>>Configuration from the Task bar.

The ICP-MS Configuration dialog box appears.

NOTE The Configuration task cannot be started while other tasks are executing, so end all

other tasks first.
