Control Through the TRACE GC Ultra
This paragraph describes how to program and control the AI 3000/AS 3000 II through the
TRACE GC Ultra keypad.
Groups of samples can be automatically analyzed under different analytical conditions by
programming a
sequence
of samples. The sequence includes a set of information for a group of
samples and their position on the sample tray. The sequence also specifies the method to be
used to run each group of samples.
Configuring the AI 3000/AS 3000 II
When the GC is switched on, the presence of the autoinjector/sampler and its configuration is
automatically acknowledged.
The type of configuration is displayed by pressing
CONFIG
and selecting

for the AI 3000.
Note
It is not possible to control the 0.5
μ
L syringe through the GC keypad but only
through the data system.
