Running Samples Manually

You can run a method to analyze samples if you do not have an autosampler.
However, you may have other reasons to run a method rather than a sequence. For
example, if you have only one or two samples to analyze, it may be more efficient to
run the samples manually rather than set up the autosampler.
When you analyze samples manually, you must make sure the appropriate method is
loaded and then run the sample. To load and run a method in one step, select
Methods>>Load and Run from the Top window.
The steps are then similar to the steps in the following sections, which describe how
to load and run a method separately. Simply omit the first step in each section.

Loading a Method

Before you run a sample, make sure the appropriate method is loaded. Check the
title bar of the Top window to see what method is currently in memory. Then, if
necessary, load the method you need. To load a method, complete the following
steps from the Top window:
>>
1 Select Methods Load.
The Load Method File dialog box appears.
