Injector Steps
Injector Steps is a diagnostic tool with which the user can walk through the whole
injection process while having manual control over the elemental steps. This can
be especially beneficial during troubleshooting when close observation of each
individual step of the injection cycle can be crucial for success.
The execution of the Injector Steps tool encompasses the following elementary
steps when the Agilent Lab Advisor Software is used:
1 Select Injector Steps from the list under Service & Diagnostics.
2 Enter a valid value for the vial location and the injection volume in the Location
and Volume fields, respectively.
3 Select and execute any of the step commands (see Table 20 on page 185).
4 Select Back in the bottom right corner to exit the Gripper Verification function.
The vial is returned, the metering plunger moves into the home position, and
the injection valve switches into the mainpass position.
For some commands, there are prerequisite steps that are executed
automatically if not already done (see Table 20 on page 185).
