Ready wait
If a sequence is started but the instrument is not ready (due to
oven temperature, equilibration times, etc.), the sequence will
not start until all instrument setpoints are ready
To pause and resume a sequence
Press [Seq Control], scroll to Pause sequence, and press [Enter].
The sequence status changes to paused, and you are given the
option to resume or stop the paused sequence.
The sequence halts when the current sample run is complete.
To continue the paused sequence, scroll to Resume sequence and
press [Enter]. When a sequence is resumed, it starts with the
next sample.
To stop a sequence
A sequence automatically stops at the end of the last active
subsequence unless Repeat sequence is On in the Post Sequence
events.
To stop a running sequence, scroll to Stop sequence and press
[Enter]. A stopped sequence can only be restarted from the
beginning.
To abort a sequence
When a sequence is aborted, it stops immediately without
waiting for the current run to finish. These actions will cause a
sequence to abort:
• A run is stopped by pressing [Stop].
• A sampler error occurs producing an error message.
• The GC detects a configuration mismatch during a method
load.
• A running sequence tries to load an empty method.
• The sampler is turned off. You can correct the problem and
then resume the sequence. The aborted sample run will be
repeated.
