Operating Instructions — Batches
A batch is a collection of information about the samples to be analyzed. Batches tell the software
the order in which to analyze the samples. For information about importing batches, refer to the
Advanced User Guide.
Set Queue Options
The queue goes one by one through the list, acquiring each sample with the selected acquisition
method. After all the samples have been acquired, the queue stops and the mass spectrometer
goes into the standby mode. In the standby mode, the LC pumps and some instrument voltages
are turned off.
The user can change the length of time the queue runs after the last acquisition has finished,
before the Analyst software puts the mass spectrometer into the standby mode. For more
information about the other fields in the Queue Options dialog, refer to the Help.

3. In the Max Num Waiting Samples field, set the maximum number of samples to a
value that is greater than the number of samples that will be submitted to the queue.
4. In the Max Idle Time field, type the length of time the queue will wait after acquisition
is completed before going into Standby mode. The preset value is 60 minutes.
If gas cylinders are used, adjust this time to make sure that the gas in the cylinders is
not depleted.
