30 Operation Manual
3 Keypad Operation
Method Storage and Automation Keys
These keys are for loading and storing methods and
sequences locally on your GC. They cannot be used to access
methods and sequences stored by your Agilent data system.
[Load]
[Method]
[Store]
[Seq]
Are used together to load and store methods
and sequences on your GC.
For example, to load a method, press [Load]
[Method] and select one from the list of methods
stored in the GC. See “To load a method” on
page 41.
[Run Table] Is used to program special events you require
during a run. A special event could be switching
a valve, for example. See the Advanced
Operation Manual for details.
[Clock Table] Is used to program events to occur at a time of
day, as opposed to during a run, and to access
the Instrument Schedule. The clock table events
could, for example, be used to start a shutdown
run at 5:00 p.m. every day. See the Advanced
Operation Manual and “Resource Conservation”
on page 108.
[Seq Control] Starts, stops, pauses, or resumes a sequence, or
views the status of a sequence. See “Running
Sequences from the Keypad” on page 51.
[Sample Tray] Displays whether the tray and/or bar code
reader/mixer is enabled.
[Prog]
[User Key 1]
[User Key 2]
Allows you to program a series of keystrokes
commonly used for specific operations. Press
User Key 1 or User Key 2 to record up to 31
keystrokes as a macro. See the Advanced
Operation Manual.
