1 Introduction Overview Use the Teledyne CETAC Technologies autosampler plug-in to operate a CETAC MVX-7100 µL workstation with the Agilent MassHunter™ Workstation software. Without the plug-in, the MVX-7100 workstation must be controlled by the CETAC Workstation software. With the plug-in, however, you do not need to use the CETAC Workstation software.
In addition to this manual, you can refer to the following resources: The CETAC MVX-7100 µL Workstation Operator’s Manual provides information about installing and maintaining the MVX-7100 µL workstation.

2 Setting Up the Hardware You will need to install the plug-in before you can complete setting up the MVX-7100 µL workstation. This is because the syringes pumps need to be at the 1/2 position in order to install the syringe barrels. If necessary, you can use the Direct Controls in the plug-in to move the syringe pumps to the proper position.
