Set Queue Options
The queue goes one by one through the list, running each sample with the selected acquisition
method. After all the samples have been acquired, the queue stops and the instrument goes into
the Standby mode. In the Standby mode, the LC pumps and some instrument voltages are turned
off.
The user can change the length of time the queue runs after the last acquisition has finished,
before it puts the instrument into the Standby mode. For more information about the other fields
in the Queue Options dialog, refer to the Help.
