2.4 Divert/Inject Valve
The divert/inject valve is located on the front of the LTQ to the left of the API
source. See Figure 2-3. You can configure (plumb) the divert/inject valve as a
loop injector (for flow injection analysis) or as a divert valve. Procedures for
plumbing the valve in the loop injector or divert valve configuration are given
in Finnigan LTQ Getting Connected.
You can control the divert/inject valve from the data system. You specify the
parameters of the divert/inject valve in the Divert/Inject Valve dialog box,
which can be reached from the Tune Plus window, or the Divert Valve page,
which can be reached from the Instrument Setup window. Refer to the online
Help for instructions on operating the divert/inject valve from the data system.
You can also use the divert/inject valve button to divert the LC flow between
the MS detector and waste when the valve is in the divert valve configuration,
or switch between load and inject modes when the valve is in the loop injector
configuration.
