Loop equilibration
Both pressure and vent valves are closed for the length of time
assigned to this setpoint.
Injecting the sample
The sample valve brings the sample loop in line with the carrier
gas flow. The carrier gas flows through the sample loop and the
transfer line into the GC inlet port. This sweeps the sample into
the GC. See Figure 10.
