The Supporting Keys
[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
stopwatch.
[Post Run] Is used to program the GC to do something after
a run, such as bakeout or backflush a column.
See the Advanced User Guide for details.
[Logs] Toggles between three logs: the Run Log, the
Maintenance Log, and the System Event Log. The
information in these logs can be used to support
Good Laboratory Practices (GLP) standards.
[Options] Accesses the instrument parameters setup
option, such as keypad, and display, and
diagnostics. Scroll to the desired line and press
[Enter] to access the associated entries. See the
Advanced User Guide for details.
[Config] Is used to set 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. For
example, [Config][Front Det] opens front detector
configuration parameters.
