Setting the run parameters
This section describes each run parameter, lists the range of values for the
common controlling devices, and contains three examples.
The run parameters tell the injector and the tray what to do. For example, they
tell the injector how much sample to inject and tell the tray where to find
sample vials. You can set many of the parameters either with the control
switches of the injector or with an external device, such as an integrator,
ChemStation, or the 6890 Series GC.
For information about setting parameters with the control switches on the
injector panel, see chapter 4, “Standalone Control.”
Description of the parameters
Injections per vial
Specifies the number of times the run is repeated for each sample vial. For
example, if the value is two, each vial is analyzed twice.
Caution Too many injections per vial can allow sample to evaporate, deplete sample, or
contaminate sample in the vial. This may affect the reproducibility of the
injection volume.
Position of first vial
Specifies the tray or injector turret position of the first sample vial. Each
position on the tray and turret is numbered. Tray values range from 1 to 100.
Only three sample positions are available in the standard injector turret.
Position of last vial
Specifies the tray or injector turret position of the last sample vial. Tray values
range from 1 to 100. Only three sample positions are available in the standard
injector turret.
