3. If you want to automatically perform multiple injections

(or perform a single injection using the AutoInjector Mod-
ule), select the A

UTO

NJECTOR

drop down as shown in Fig-

ure 4-1. This is the default selection if an AutoInjector
Module is present. If an Auto Sampler Module is present,
you will select the A

dropdown.

Note

If you want to manually inject your sample without using the
AutoInjector Module, you will have to replace the sample probe
fitting with a Luer injection port (supplied) or 22 gauge needle
port (optional).
