Post-Analysis Operations
For maintaining high analytical performance and to reduce operating costs, we recommend you follow
these practical suggestions.

Putting the Instrument in Standby Mode
When the work session is over, the instrument can be placed into
Standby mode
. This mode is
intended to reduce the gas consumption significantly and will reduce operating costs. The standby
conditions can be defined by the operator.
There are these options:
•
Reduce the flow only
— This option reduces the carrier and reference flow to 10 mL/min and the
oxygen to 0 mL/min.
•
Define an EA method
— This option allows to define settings in an EA method which are
uploaded to the EA.
The Standby function can be activated immediately or automatically at the end of the analytical
sequence.
To set the EA in standby immediately
1. Right-click on the EA window in Isodat Software Suite and open
EA Standby
options. When
clicking this button it opens the following page. See
Figure 131.
