5.1.3 Method tools
Access sequence: RUN>SETTINGS>METHODS>TOOLS
In the “METHOD TOOLS” screen (see paragraph 5.1 “Method (Headspace mode)”) the
following options are available:
•
Restore Default: used to load the default settings for a method;
•
Copy Methods: used to copy the parameters from one method to another.
If you select “RESTORE DEFAULT”, you have to select the method to reset. A confirmation
screen appears “Loading default parameter for method X”. Tap “LOAD” to restore the default
parameters and “CANCEL” not to make the restore operation. If you select “COPY METHODS”,
you have to select the source method and the destination method. Tap “CONTINUE” to confirm
and “ABORT” not to make the method copy.
Select “Exit” to exit from this screen and return to the “RUN: METHODS” screen (see paragraph
5.1.2 “Method X: Setting method parameters”).
5.1.4 Example
Below there is an example method, and you can use this to create your own method.
Please keep in mind that the example method should be adapted depending on your analysis
technique, analyzer model, inlet type, etc. and therefore this may not be suitable for your
application.

GC Cycle Time: GC run time plus any additional time needed for the GC to execute any post-run
program, then return to a Ready state.
2
Value depends on application. Typically: Oven Temperature plus 10°C (in any case not higher than the
150°C ).
3
Value depends on application. Consider boiling point of solvent. 170°C is the maximum temperature that
can be set.
