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. 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. Enter Sample Information.
4. Enter Instrument Information.
5. 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.
