Detector Configuration
If you are operating with column defined, you have a choice of two makeup gas modes. To set
the makeup gas for a detector:
1 Select Settings > Configuration > Detectors, then select the tab for the detector to
configure. See Figure 62.
Figure 62. Detectors page
2 If available, select the makeup gas type that is plumbed to the detector. Depending on your
detector type and the carrier gas selection, the gas type may be already set for you.
3 Make or enter settings for the detector, as applicable:
• Lit Offset. FID and FPD+. See “Detectors”.
• Readiness. Enable if using this detector. When disabled, the GC becomes ready even if
this device has not reached or cannot reach its setpoints.
• Target Offset. NPD only. Enter the default target offset. The GC will slowly try to reach
this target value after the detector flows are read, the temperature is stable, and the dry
bead time has elapsed.
4 Select Apply. The entered changes are saved to the GC.
