This manual describes the setting of the Shimadzu

GC17A

and

GC14C

GC chromatographs. The control module enables direct control of the
instrument over serial line.

Fig 1: Shimadzu GC 17A series III

Caution:

Do not confuse GC14C (model derived from GC17A) with GC14A (older
Shimadzu product).

Direct control means that the chromatograph can be completely controlled
from the

Clarity

environment. Instrument method controlling the analysis

conditions will be saved in the measured chromatograms.
The GC14C model is based on the GC17A, with limited functionality (only
manual gas flow control). The model type should be selected in the GC
setup dialog window in System configuration. In this manual, the options
to be selected will be described for the GC17A, with marked differences
for GC14C.

Note:

Analysis conditions are all the options from the

Method Setup - GC

dialogs.
