Setting Up an
Experiment
Once you have prepared the sample, the next
step in your experiment is to enter the needed
information in the TA controller. All of the
controller functions described in this section are
accessed through the Instrument Control screen.
Refer to the online help and documentation to
learn how to perform the following steps.
1. Select the Instrument.
2. Select the Instrument Mode.
3. Access the Autosampler Sequence.
4. Enter Sample Information.
5. Enter Instrument Information.
If you are planning to run the Autosampler, be
sure to specify furnace open at method end, as
well as air cool, to cool down the furnace between
samples.
6. Create and Select Thermal Methods.
The first time you use your TGA you will need
to create at least one thermal method to control
experiments. Each method is made of several
segments, or individual instructions (e.g.,
Equilibrate, Ramp), that control the state of the
instrument. A different method may be selected
for each sample.
