Resource conservation when using an Agilent data system

To program an instrument schedule

76
The HS 7697A HS can conserve resources (power and gases)
using the instrument schedule.
If enabled, the HS loads the "Sleep" method at the specified
time. Program the sleep method to use lower temperatures
and gas flows. At the specified "Wake" time, the HS will load
the "Wake" method. The wake method can also be the
method that was active before the HS loaded the Sleep
method. The wake method prepares the HS for use, even if
unattended.
A simple use case is a laboratory with working hours from
8 AM to 5 PM, Monday through Friday. Set the HS to load
the sleep method at, for example, 6 PM during the week. Set
the HS to load the Wake method at 7 AM Monday through
Friday. In this example, the HS can heat and stabilize for an
hour before employees arrive.
Note the following:
• The HS never loads a sleep or wake method if a sequence
is running.
• The HS does not retry loading the wake or sleep method
if it skips the schedule due to activity.
• You can load a different method or start a sequence at
any time. The instrument schedule does not prevent or
delay sequence execution (except for any times required
to reach the new setpoints).
• The HS uses its clock, not the clock on the data system
computer.
Set the resource conservation choices using the data system.
The data system also provides some simplifications, for
example, a 5 day plus weekend schedule.
