Methods and Sequences 4
Operation Manual 41
To program a method
1 Individually select each component for which setpoint
parameters are appropriate for your method. (See
Table 2.)
2 Examine the current setpoints and modify as desired.
Repeat for each component as appropriate.
3 Examine the current setpoints for the ALS, if
appropriate, and modify as desired.
4 Save the setpoints as a stored method. (See “To store a
method” on page 41.)
To load a method
1 Press [Load].
2 Press [Method].
3 Enter the number of the method to be loaded (1 through
9).
4 Press [On/Yes] to load the method and replace the active
method. Alternatively, press [Off/No] to return to the
stored methods list without loading the method.
To store a method
1 Ensure that the proper parameters are set.
2 Press [Method].
3 Scroll to the method to store, then press [Enter].
4 Press [On/Yes] to store the method and replace the active
method. Alternatively, press [Off/No] to return to the
stored methods list without storing the method.
Method mismatch
This section applies only to a standalone (not connected to a
data system) GC. When a data system, such as OpenLAB
CDS or MassHunter, controls the GC, methods are stored in
the data system and can be edited there. See your data
system documentation for more information.
Suppose your standalone GC is equipped with a single FID.
You have created and saved methods that use this detector.
Now you remove the FID and install a TCD in its place.
