Setting
Equilibration Time
The picture illustrates the scenario:
Fig. 43: Interdependencies between ReadyTempDelta, EquilibrationTime, and Ready
Observe the following:
• The smaller the value is for ReadyTempDelta and the higher the value is for
EquilibrationTime, the longer is takes until the TCC is ready for operation and the data
acquisition and/or the analysis can be started.
• Environmental conditions, such as draft or air conditioning, may also extend the waiting
period or even prevent the TCC from entering the Ready state.
Operating Instructions
TCC-3000SD and TCC-3000RS Column Compartments
Description
Indicates for how long the preferred temperature must be in the range
specified by the temperature set point and the setting for ReadyTempDelta
before the TCC is ready for operation and the analysis can be started.
Example:
Temperature set point: 45 °C, ReadyTempDelta: 1 °C, EquilibrationTime:
0.5 min
The TCC is ready for operation when the current temperature is between
44 °C and 46 °C and has remained in this range for 0.5 minutes.
If EquilibrationTime is set to None, Chromeleon does not check how long
the current temperature remains in the specified range.
