Agilent Technologies 7697A - Priority Samples Using an Agilent Data System

Sequences 7
Operation 67
• If the vial is not present, a vial not found error occurs.
(See the Advanced Operation Guide for information
about how to set HS handling of missing vials.)
• The HS continues to process any vial it is handling before
it looks for the new priority sample vial.
• The HS uses the method of the last vial placed in the
oven to process the priority sample vial. If you wish to
use another method, you must interrupt the current
sequence.
• You may insert only three priority samples per sequence.
• Avoid using sample vial positions 109–111 if you might
use priority samples. If you use positions 109–111 in your
normal sequences, you will need to replace the normal
sequence vials with the priority vials, run the priority
vials, then put the normal sequence vials back.
Consecutive presses of [Priority Sample] cycle through the
priority locations.
1 The first time you press [Priority Sample], the HS checks
for and runs the vial in position 1.
• The Vial Status names this vial P 1.
2 The second time you press [Priority Sample], the HS checks
for and runs the vial in position 2.
• The Vial Status names this vial P 2.
3 The third time you press [Priority Sample], the HS checks
for and runs the vial in position 3.
• The Vial Status names this vial P 3.
If you press of [Priority Sample] a fourth time, an error
message appears. You may only insert 3 samples into the
sequence using this feature. If you need to make a fourth
change, stop the sequence and edit it to add the needed
sample.
Priority samples using an Agilent data system
The Agilent data system already provides flexibility for
editing a running sequence. When using an Agilent data
system, the priority samples feature is disabled. To insert a
new sample into the running sequence, simply edit the
sequence to insert the new sample(s). Refer to the data
system’s online help for details.
