Open Valve. Green indicates an open valve.

Closed Valve. Yellow indicates a closed valve. When manual control is disabled, closed valves appear white.

Auxiliary I/O. Lists the current auxiliary settings for Digital and Relay Output (DO and RO) and Digital Input (DI). The current Auxiliary 1 and Auxiliary 2 signals are also displayed, if they were recorded. See Auxiliary Inputs and Outputs.

Auxiliary Port. Used to connect an external detector (such as a mass spectrometer) to the analyzer. Cannot be manually controlled.

Calibration Valves. Used during automatic calibration processes. Generally, it is not necessary to change the state of the calibration valves.

CryoCooler. Displays only if installed. The CryoCooler speed can be set from 0 to 100%.

Detector Heat Zone. The detector heat zone is set by clicking anywhere in the orange box. The filament temperature is set by clicking the detector rectangle on the right side of the schematic.

Gas Inlet Valves. The gas mnemonic is displayed by the inlet if one is assigned. Right click the inlet valve to open or close the valve.

KwikCool. Displays only if installed.

Mass Flow Controller. Controls the flow of gas into the analyzer. The MFC target and flow rate are displayed.

  • Set Flow Rate. Click to enter a flow rate.
  • Stop Flow. Stops the flow of gas through the selected Mass Flow controller.

Rotary Valve. Controls the flow of gas through the cold trap, the sample tube, and the loop. Right click the valve icon to change the state of the valve. Select the needed state. From left to right, the valves and their states are:

  • Cold Trap. Bypass, Trap
  • Analysis. Analyze, Prepare
  • Loop. Fill, Inject

Sample Furnace. Controls the temperature of the sample. Click to display the sample temperature, the target temperature, the furnace temperature, and the ramp rate. Right click the icon and select Set Temperature to change the Set Point and/or the Ramp Rate.
