Examples of operation
This section describes the basic steps to set up your automatic liquid sampler
using different methods of control. The following examples are for three
specific systems with one injector module mounted over the front inlet. For
more information on other types of configurations, see the manual of your
controlling device.
• 6890 Series GC
• 3396 integrator with a 5890 GC
• Multitechnique ChemStation with a 6890 Series GC
• 3365 ChemStation (MS-DOS Series) with a 5890 GC
For information on controlling the automatic liquid sampler without an
external instrument, see chapter 4, “Standalone Control.”
To complete the following examples successfully, the following statements
should be true:
• The automatic liquid sampler is installed correctly on the GC.
• The external controlling device is installed and configured correctly.
• You have a basic understanding of the GC and the external controlling
device.
Preparing the GC and controlling device
For a trial run, you can minimize the time for the GC to be ready by setting the
oven to a low temperature, removing any temperature ramp program, and
setting the equilibration time to zero. You can minimize the amount of time the
integrator or computer collects data by turning the detector or signal off and
setting the run time to about 10 seconds.
To set up your automatic liquid sampler for a run, the following examples will
help you get started.
