Changes the detector range (as set before the analysis on the
DET X
tab) during the course of the analysis. Range
x1
corresponds to value

, range
x10
-1
to value
1
,
x10
-2
to value

to value

.
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
.
All 4 possible detectors are listed, even if they are not present
and configured in the
Shimadzu GC-2014C 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:
Event Code
Function
51
Autozeroes the Detector 1
52
Autozeroes the Detector 2
53
Autozeroes the Detector 3
54
Autozeroes the Detector 4

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
