7 Resource Conservation
To Set the GC to Conserve Resources
Set the GC to conserve resources by creating and using an
Instrument Schedule.
1 Decide how to restore flows. The choices are:
• Wake current: At the specified time, the GC will restore
the last active method used before it went to sleep.
• Wake with WAKE file: At the specified time, the GC will
load the wake method, and remain at those settings.
• Condition, Wake current: At the specified time, the GC will
load the condition method. This method runs once,
then the GC will load the last method active before it
went to sleep. During this conditioning run, the GC
does not produce or collect data.
• Condition, Wake w WAKE file: At the specified time, the GC
will load the condition method. This method runs once,
then the GC will load the wake method. During the
conditioning run, the GC does not produce or collect
data.
• Adjust front (or back) detector offset: If the GC includes an
NPD, you can set the GC to run its automatic Adjust
offset bead voltage adjustment.
2 Create a SLEEP method. This method should reduce flows
and temperatures. See “Sleep Methods”.
3 Program the WAKE or CONDITION methods, as needed. See
“Wake and Condition Methods”. (While it is good practice
to create these methods, you do not need them if you
only wake the GC to the last active method.)
