View Instrument and Device Status Icons
Icons representing the instrument and each device in the active hardware configuration appear
on the status bar in the bottom right corner of the window. The user can view the detailed status
of an LC pump to check if the LC pump pressure is appropriate, or view the detailed status of the
instrument to check the temperature of the ion source.
• On the status bar, double-click the icon for the device or instrument.
The Instrument Status dialog opens.
Standby In the Standby state, the hardware profile has been
activated, but all devices are idle. Pumps are not
running and gases are turned off.
Warming Up In the Warming Up state, the instrument and
devices are equilibrating, columns are being
conditioned, the autosampler needle is being
washed, and column ovens are reaching
temperature. The period of equilibration is selected
by the operator. From this state, the system can go
to the Ready state.
Ready In the Ready state, the system is ready to start
running samples and the devices have been
equilibrated and are ready to run. In this state, the
queue can receive samples and will run after
samples are submitted.

begin acquisition when the next sample is
submitted.

is occurring. This state occurs before the acquisition
of each sample in a batch.
