Controlling the Divert/Inject Valve
You can control the divert/inject valve as follows:
• Use the MS’s data system to specify the parameters in the Divert Valve Properties pane in
the Method Editor. For instructions, refer to the Method Editor Help.
• Use the valve’s control buttons (Figure 34) to divert the LC flow between the mass
spectrometer 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. For
instructions, refer to the manufacturer’s manual.
