4 Using the control module
Clarity Controls
Det 1(..4) Current
Changes the current value of the detector (if the current for the given
detector has any sense). The new value should be in range and units
dependent on the type of the detector -
FTD
detector has the range of
values
0.00-10.00 pA
,
ECD
detector
0.00-2.00 nA
and
TCD
detector
0-
200 mA
.
Note:
All 4 possible detectors are listed, even if they are not present and
configured in the
Shimadzu GC-201x Setup
dialog. Those not configured
will have the text in the format
Det #X Polarity
etc. with the # character -
these shouldn't be used in the
Time Events table
.
Event Operation
Performs an event operation defined by the event code. These codes may
be used as a positive number or negative number, in which case the
opposite of the operation is performed. For example, event code
51
performs the autozero operation on detector 1, while
- 51
event code
cancels the zero adjustment on detector 1. The basic event codes and
their functions are:
Tab 1: Event codes
Event Code
Function
51
Autozeroes the Detector 1
52
Autozeroes the Detector 2
53
Autozeroes the Detector 3
54
Autozeroes the Detector 4
Note:
For more event codes please see Shimadzu hardware documentation.
Temperature of INJ1(2), DET1(2), AUX3(..5)
Changes the temperature of the particular temperature zone. The initial
temperature is set on the
Oven/Zones
tab, but can be changed later
during the analysis this way. The
Value
column should hold the
temperature in °C.
Program stop
Stops the GC control program. The value entered into the
Value
column
should be set to
XY
, where
X
is the number of runs before the program
stop command is sent and
Y
is the number of file (in the GC) to be loaded
after that. For example value
16
corresponds to the program stop
command sent after one run of the method, after which the FILE6 is
loaded. The number of method runs doesn't have any meaning for
Clarity
as the method is usually sent after each injection, thus resetting the
counter after each injection. For more details, consult Shimadzu manual.
