2. By using the cable provided, connect the 9-pin female connector marked RS232 located
on the sampling unit back side to 9-pin connector marked AUTOSAMPLER located on
the GC back panel.
3. In case of AS 1310, connect the 15-pin female connector of the cable coming from the
support plate of the 105-position sample tray to the connector marked TRAY located on
the sampling unit back side.
This section provides instructions for connecting two AI 1310/AS 1310 in Gemini
Configuration.
In Gemini configuration, the AI 1310/AS 1310 autosamplers can work in three operating
mode:
• High Throughput Mode — Processes large batches of samples with the same analytical
conditions and double the system productivity.
Typically the same type of column and detector are used on both channels; the samples
are injected in the two channels and analyses acquired simultaneously with the same GC
method. The vial sequence is not necessarily the same. Each injection will contain the
data from one data channel.
• Single Mode — Only one AI 1310/AS 1310 autosampler is working.
• Confirmation Mode — Typically, two columns with different stationary phases are
installed in parallel, use the same or a different detector. The same samples are placed in
the same positions on the two sample carousels. The same vial sequence and the same GC
method are requested for the two autosamplers. The samples are injected in the two
channels and analyses acquired simultaneously. In this case the data acquired by each
channel is saved in the same data file.
If Chrom-Card CDS is used, the data acquired by each channel is saved in a proper single
file.
