Running a TGA 8000 Autosampler Playlist
Pyris Player is the backbone of Pyris Software automation. It was created with autosamplers
in mind. In addition to the standard play list items – Load Sample, Run Method, Return
Sample – there is a Sample Group. The Sample Group simplifies grouping like samples
together (as you would have in a sample tray of the autosampler). These like samples use
the same test method and data analysis. A Sample Group consists of a Sample List and Data
Analysis List. A specific method is selected for the sample in the Sample List. The Data
Analysis List allows you to access all necessary functions for data recall, curve manipulation,
optimization, and calculations for automatic data analysis.
Before starting a run, perform the steps below:
•
Review the safety and warning notes for the TGA 8000 and the autosampler.
•
Verify that the system purge and sample gas, tubing are properly connected.
•
Turn on the gases; adjust the pressures. The recommended flow rate for the system
purge is 20 – 100 ml/min. For the sample gas, it should be between 10 – 50 ml/min.
For the furnace lift mechanism, use a pressure between 15 and 30 psi.
•
Verify that the electrical and cable connections between the autosampler and the
TGA 8000 and other components of the system are properly connected.
Turn on the power to the system components in the following order:
•
