Quick Reference 19
[Time] Displays the current date and time on the first line.
The two middle lines show the time between runs,
the elapsed time and time remaining during a run,
and the last run time and post-time during a
post-run.
The last line always displays a stopwatch. While
on the stopwatch line, press [Clear] to set the
clock to zero and [Enter] to start or stop the stop-
watch.
[Post Run] Programs the GC to do something after a run, such
as bakeout or backflush a column. See the Agilent
7890A GC Advanced User Guide for details.
[Logs] Toggles among three logs: the Run Log, the Main-
tenance Log, and the System Event Log. The infor-
mation in these logs can be used to support Good
Laboratory Practices (GLP) standards.
[Options] Accesses the instrument parameters setup option,
such as keypad, display, and diagnostics. Scroll to
the desired line and press [Enter] to access the
associated entries. See the Agilent 7890A GC
Advanced User Guide for details.
[Config] Sets up components that are not automatically
detectable by the GC but are essential to running a
method, such as column dimensions, carrier and
detector gas types, makeup gas configurations,
sample tray settings, and column plumbing to
inlets and detectors. These settings are part of,
and are stored with, the method.
To view the current configuration for a component
(such as the inlet or detector), press [Config], then
the component key of interest.
