13.1.5 Igniting and Extinguishing the FID
13.1.5.1 Confirmation prior to FID ignition
Confirm the following points prior to FID ignition.
1. Connect the column.
2. Specify the FID to be ignited in a flow line. (Refer to “8.3 Specifying the Analytical
Flow Line Components ([Line Config])”)
3. Set the FID to be ignited to On. (Refer to “13.1.2 Setting the Detector.”)
