11.4 Inlet Page

NOTE:

The Inlet page is not used (or displayed) when creating survey methods.

shows the default settings for the Inlet page for a GC/MS Full Scan

Method. From this page, the Inlet States, GC Temperature Profiles and Run Time
are integrated and synchronized to form the Inlet Component of the Method.
Changing one item on this page often affects others and that effect is shown in the
profile, at the bottom of the page, for clarity. There is a direct connection on this
page between the start time of the Standby Inlet Event, the total time of the
Temperature Profile, and the Run Time. Changing a time related to one of these
items will automatically change a related time in the other items, in most cases.
