Loading Operational Settings w hen Running an Analysis
Operational settings are settings made to the instrument using the Mass Spectrometer window in
Chromion and after sent to the instrument are stored in the Settings.xml file. They are used to
control specific functions on the instrument. Settings become active immediately when sent to the
instrument even while running an analysis.
Methods store information about analysis functionality that are affected by the chromatographic
conditions when running a sample. The methods are stored in the Storage Card folder which is on
the SD card. Method parameters must be activated or loaded on the instrument before running a
sample analysis.
If parameter changes are sent while a sample is running on the instrument a message will display
that indicates to the user that the instrument is busy and that the method will need to be sent after
the completion of the sample run.
Reset and Restart Buttons on the Instrument
There is a reset button and an emergency shutdown button on the Torion T-9.
The reset button is used to restart the instrument’s CPU without turning off the system power. This
is used in cases where the instrument has stopped operating and you want to restart the computer
without losing vacuum or temperature.
The
emergency shutdown
button turns off the system power immediately. This would be used in
a situation where the system may be running away thermally or for any situation where the system
needs to shutdown immediately without going through the normal process.
NOTE: Shutting down the instrument using the emergency shutdown button should not be used except in
emergency situations since not following the normal shutdown process risks pulling contaminants
from the turbo pump back into the vacuum chamber.
The following image shows the location of the Reset and Emergency Shutdown buttons. They
are located under the utility cover on top of the instrument.
To activate either button press it down for approximately one second and then release the button.
