Detector Performance Log
In addition to the occasions indicated in the Comments area of the table below (see
Initial Power-Up,
page 10), the standing current should be observed and logged after any system change. Logging
the standing current (with and without the column) on a regular basis is also an effective monitor of
system integrity (leaktightness and cleanliness). To check sensitivity continuity, we recommend
tracking the internal standard (quantity on column/area count). Additional log pages can be down-
loaded from the support/manuals section of www.vici.com.
