3 Keypad Operation
The Run Keys
These keys are used to start, stop, and prepare the GC to
run a sample.
[Prep Run] Activates processes required to bring the GC to
the starting condition dictated by the method
(such as turning off the inlet purge flow for a
splitless injection or restoring normal flow
from gas saver mode). See the Advanced
Operation Manual for details.
[Start] Starts a run after manually injecting a sample.
(When you are using an automatic liquid
sampler or gas sampling valve, the run is
automatically activated at the appropriate
time.)
[Stop] Immediately terminates the run. If the GC is in
the middle of a run, the data from that run
may be lost. Also see “To resume an aborted
sequence” on page 52.
