NOTE: The Vacuum System status should be periodically checked during
Startup for foreline pressure. The pressure should read below 500 mTorr in 5
minutes and <
100 mTorr after 45 minutes. Higher values may indicate a leak.
Refer to the Troubleshooting chapter in the Hardware manual.
Acquisition
Selecting the Acquisition button activates the 2000 module for analysis. When
you first go into this screen the module will load the information for the active
method so that it is ready to collect data according to the conditions prescribed in
the method. You will see a screen similar to the one below on the left side of your
monitor.
Within a few moments you will see the red lights turn to green. This is an
indication that the Saturn module is ready for analysis. If the GC and/or
AutoSampler are not ready you will see a Not Ready message at the top of the
screen. Once the GC and AutoSampler come to a ready state, the not ready
message will change to Ready. To determine the individual ready states of the
components you can go the top pull down menu under Windows and see the
states for the 2000, 3800, and 8200 modules. Once all components are ready,
you are ready to start an analysis.
An analysis can be run as a single sample or through an automated sequence.
To run a single sample, go to the top pull down menu called Inject. Select inject
single sample. You will see a screen similar to the one below.
All of the fields in the picture above are editable for your particular sample. Be
sure to give the correct information about sample name, vial position and
injection volume if an AutoSampler is used, and data file path. Once this
information has been entered correctly, select the inject button in the bottom left
corner. If no AutoSampler is used, inject the sample the sample manually when
the GC ready light illuminates on the GC keyboard. If an AutoSampler is used, it
will now be activated and make the injection for you. Refer to the Tutorial Manual
or Help for more information on injection.
