6.1.1 Keypad operation
The keypad is used to operate the system and make parameter settings. The table below
shows the function of each key.
Name Function
START key Starts the temperature program, pressure/flow rate program and time program.
If a Pre-Run program is set, the Pre-Run program starts.
STOP key Stops the program.
DIAG key Performs unit self-diagnosis.
Also, used for maintenance functions such as confirmation of various logs, part
replacement status, and standard signal out put.

PF key Selects the PF menu displayed at bottom of the screen.
(PF = programmable function)
Toggle key Toggles through the PF menu displayed at bottom of the screen.
MONIT key Monitors the GC status and analysis status.
Displays the GC temperature, pressure and flow rate status for each heated zone,
as well as chromatograms.
SET key Accesses commonly-used items, such as temperature, pressure and flow rate for
each component on one screen.
Manages the analytical condition file like the [SYSTEM] key.
FUNC key Accesses less frequently used items.
COL key Sets the oven temperature program.
FLOW key Sets the carrier gas flow rate parameters, such as pressure, flow rate and split
ratio.
