Control from PC
The AI 3000/AS 3000 II is controlled through a Thermo Fisher Scientific data system for gas
chromatography installed in the PC and interfaced with the instrument via serial line RS 232.
This paragraph describes how to program the instrument operating parameters.
User Interface
The user interface, see
, is the same for is the same for AI 3000/AS 3000 II and
Gemini configurations. In this page the sampler parameters can be set, whereas the sequence
of samples to be analyzed and acquired is managed by the data system as a function of the type
of sample tray installed.

AI 3000/AS 3000 II Autosampler Page
When in
Gemini
configuration, the user interface controls both the samplers. The parameters
set here will be send to both the samplers as they were a single ones. The hardware must be the
same for both the samplers such as type of sampler, tray and samples numbering.
IMPORTANT
Before creating an autosampler method you must configure the correct
syringe capacity in the AI 3000/AS 3000 II Configuration page of the Data System in use
(refer to your
Data System Operating Manual
– Configuration for details).
Note
The page is visualized previous the selection in the configuration page of the data
system in use referring to the relevant manual.
IMPORTANT
In the Sampler Configuration page of the data system in use, select the
function
Vial error handling >> Stop on vial missing
