Method Development Using Explorer Directly
Developing your own method allows you to optimize the system for your particular
application. If for example you want to run benzene, toluene and m-xylene (BTX) as
quickly as possible, you can increase the pressure, increase the temperature and
decrease the analysis time.
Normally you will access most of the options covered in this section using the
SiteChart software as described in Method Development Using SiteChart, starting
on page
160. A brief description of each function and how to change the settings is
provided to allow you to make changes to the method when SiteChart is not
available.
NOTE: Changes made to the method using Explorer directly cannot be saved to disk. The
changes will be lost when a new method is loaded.
One or more methods will be provided with your assay. Use SiteChart to load the
required method.
You must put Explorer into supervisor mode in order to access all the
options covered in this section. In supervisor mode, all the user mode
commands are available and advanced method development features are also
accessible.
1. Press Enter Menu, SETUP, MODE. Use the arrow keys to select Super.
2. Press Enter Menu and Exit.
A password is required to change from user mode to supervisor mode. The
password is factory set and cannot be changed. The password is 12344321.
3. Press Enter Menu.
You are now in supervisor mode.
