Setpoint dependencies
Some setpoints in the flow system are interdependent. If you change one setpoint, other
setpoints may change to compensate.
Initial values
The table shows recommended starting values for selected parameters.

You cannot change pressure and flow setpoints during sampling time.
Table 37 Suggested starting values
Parameter Allowed setpoint range Suggested starting value
Oven initial time 0 to 999.9 minutes Interface purge time
Interface temperature Ambient + 10 C to 400 C Transfer line temperature
Interface sampling end 0 to 999.9 minutes 0.2 minutes longer than
introduction time
Interface purge time 0 to 999.9 minutes
Gas saver time 0 to 999.9 minutes Must be after purge time
Gas saver flow 15 to 100 mL/min 15 mL/min greater than
maximum column flow
