Hi Chris,
We are able to run the GC Pal with either the Gas Bench or TCEA water
without changing the definition of TRAY01. We also don't use a Job. The
Job Queue is empty. I'm not sure exactly why it works. I'm still a
little baffled as to how Isodat tells the GC Pal which tray to go to.
In any event, here are the specifics:
Isodat Configurator:
Conflo Water
MS Delta Plus XP
Capillary
Conflo II Interface
Input
Elemental Analyzer
Sampler
ConFlo- Liquid
GasBench
MS Delta Plus XP
Capillary
Gas Bench
Input
A200S
Isodat Methods (both Conflo Water and GasBench)
Time Events
Acqu Start - Immediately
Isodat Sequence (Conflo Water)
AS Sample column - Vial #
AS Method column - >Internal No5
Isodat Sequence (GasBench)
AS Sample column - Vial #
AS Method column - >Internal No8
GC Pal
Setup
Objects
Trays
TRAY01 - VT98
TRAYGB - GB-8*11
GC Pal
Methods
A200S-5
Inject in - GC Inj1
GC Pal
Methods
A200S-8
Inject in - none
(Adjust timing using Fill Strokes and Pullup Del)
Good luck,
Georges
