Operating the MSD from the 7890 GC Control
Panel
The GC control panel on a 7890A+ or 7890B GC can show the actual
temperature and pressure of the MSD or initiate a task on the MSD without using
the Agilent MassHunter GC/MS Acquisition software. You can access functions,
such as venting and setting temperatures, right from the GC control panel.
Limited features are available from the GC control panel. The Agilent
MassHunter GC/MS Acquisition software is the full-featured controller for most
instrument control operations.
MSD designated key on the GC control panel
The MS/Aux Det key on the 7890B GC control panel allows access to control and
configuration parameters on the MSD. (See Figure 27.) For 7890A+ models with
updated firmware, this key is labeled Aux Det # which can be substituted for the
MS/Aux Det key in the procedures that follow.
