About Configuration
A device’s configuration properties are constant for an instrument hardware setup, unlike
method settings which can change from sample run to sample run. Two example
configuration settings are the gas type flowing through a pneumatic device and the operating
temperature limit of a device. The GC will try to set any configuration properties necessary for
any device that it finds installed. For example, if the GC knows it is connected to an MSD, it will
automatically configure the MSD heated transfer line. The only settings that need to be
configured manually are items that can be changed depending on your analysis, such as
installed columns and carrier gas type, or an item which may be installed in a non-standard
location. For example, an auxiliary EPC module installed in an inlet EPC module position may
require manual configuration.
Ensure all devices have been configured correctly prior to running any samples.
