Figure 12 shows how the instrument synchronizes the
availability of a vial which has been heated and is ready for
injection with the GC’s readiness for another injection. For
simplicity, the two cases are:
• Situation A: total preparation time of 30 minutes with a run
cycle time of 15 minutes.
• Situation B: total preparation time of 15 minutes with a run
cycle time of 30 minutes.
