3. In the Max Num Waiting Samples field, set the maximum number of samples to a
value that is greater than the number of samples that will be submitted to the queue.
4. In the Max Idle Time field, type the length of time the queue will wait after acquisition
is completed before going into Standby mode. The preset value is 60 minutes.
If using gas cylinders, adjust this time to make sure that the gas in the cylinders is
not depleted.
If using an LC method, before the run is started, make sure that there is enough
solvent in the reservoirs for the primary flow rate for all of the sample runs and the
Max. Idle Time.
5. Select Leave Mass Spec on in Standby to keep the mass spectrometer running
after analysis have been completed. This feature allows the heaters and gasses to
continue running, even after devices have entered idle state, so that the source
housing and front plate are kept free of contaminants.
6. Select Fail Whole Batch in Case of Missing Vial to fail the entire batch when a
missing vial is encountered. If this option is not selected, only the current sample will
fail and the queue will continue to the next sample.
7. Select Fail Whole Batch if Auto Calibration Fails to stop the batch if auto
calibration fails.
8. Select Keep Calibration Data File to keep the calibration data file in a subfolder in
the Data folder of the project from which samples are being submitted.
9. Select Continue Batch when TDC Missing Sync found to continue acquiring the
entire batch when a TDC Missing Sync signal is encountered. If this check box is not
selected, the current sample will fail and the queue will not proceed to the next
sample when this signal is encountered.
