NOTE:
When setting Main Gas Control Parameters, make sure that the total flow value
(Column Flow + Split Flow + Septum Purge Flow) is no less than 6 ml/min. This is a
minimum required for a stable flow/pressure control.
Take also into account that a minimum inlet pressure required for stable column flow
control is 7 kPa.
Inlet Zero Pressure: When enabled, the parameter sets the inlet pressure (column flow), the split
and the septum purge flows to zero. This is needed when using a manually controlled LINEX head.
Standby Timeout: It is a waiting time for an external or internal Ready or Run signal. During the
method run, the “waiting” state is canceled if a Ready or Run input is not received. When the
standby timeout is elapsed, OPTIC-4 goes into the standby state. If timeout is set to 0.0 then OPTIC
will never go to the standby state but will remain waiting for the signal indefinitely.
Run/Ready Signal Through Function: If enabled, this option forces OPTIC in the standby state to
transfer the Ready and Run (start) signals from the host GC to the autosampler and vice versa.
