Use a test method to perform a checkout at first startup to ensure the Agilent 990 Micro GC is
functioning properly.
A test method for each standard column type has been provided in the sections listed in Table 7.

See Table 15 on page 65 for parameters.
Use the data system to set up the checkout parameters for each GC channel. Apply the checkout
method settings to the Micro GC, and allow the instrument to stabilize at the initial operating

system help for details).
Each test method has been designed to determine if the instrument channel is functioning
