4. Offset the detector background and zero the reading by clicking the
Autozero button.
5. Verify that the detector baseline is at the expected reading for your
application and is stable. See
information if the reading is too high. See
information if the baseline is drifting or is excessively "noisy" (there are

6. Monitor the DP/SP pressure and make sure it is at the expected reading
for the installed column and it is stable.
7. Verify that all installed temperature control devices are at their set points
and are stable.
The system is now ready for operation.

IC
eluent, you can leave a capillary IC system on at all times, allowing it to
remain equilibrated and always ready to run the next sample.
