What Happens When You Load a Method?
There are two kinds of methods:
• The active method—This is sometimes referred to as the
current method. The settings defined in this method are
the settings the GC is currently maintaining.
• Stored methods—Up to 9 user- created methods can be
stored in the GC, along with one SLEEP method, one
WAKE method, one CONDITION method, an MS VENT
method, and a default method.
When a method is loaded from the GC or Agilent data
system, the setpoints of the active method are immediately
replaced with the setpoints of the method loaded.
• The method loaded becomes the active (current) method.
• The Not Ready light will stay lit until the GC reaches all
of the settings specified by the method that was just
loaded.
Refer to “Running a Method or a Sequence from the Keypad
for details on using the keypad to load, modify, and save
methods.
