Triggering Data Acquisition
This chapter describes how to set up the LC/MS system so that the Agilent 1100 module with
the external contact interface board triggers the Thermo Scientific mass spectrometer (MS) to
start data acquisition.
If you have not already installed the contact interface board, start with these procedures:
• “Installing the External Contact Interface Board” on page 8
• “Connecting the Contact Closure Cable” on page 9
 To trigger data acquisition during a run
1. Choose Start > All Programs > Thermo Xcalibur > Xcalibur , and then click the
Instrument Setup icon.
2. Click the autosampler icon to open its Instrument Setup window.
3. Click the Timed Events tab.
CAUTION To prevent a data system failure, make sure that you disconnect the handheld
Agilent Control Module cable from the LC stack before you run data acquisitions or use
the direct control commands.
Note Instrument methods contain the contact closure signals (to trigger data acquisition),
the chromatographic conditions, and the mass spectrometer settings for an LC/MS
application.
Note The Instrument Setup window might take several seconds to open. If you
receive a server failure error, follow the instructions on page viii .
Note If the Timed Events tab is not shown, close the Xcalibur data system and follow
the instructions in “Assigning Contact Closure Control to the Autosampler” on
page 11 .
