5.7.3 Ready Temp Delta and Equilibration Time

The Ready property indicates whether the column compartment is ready for operation.
When the column compartment is in the status NotReady, you cannot start the analysis.
Keep in mind that the settings for Ready Temp Delta and Equilibration Time influence the
time that the column compartment needs to enter the Ready state:

Description
Indicates for how much degrees the current temperature may
be above or below the temperature set point.
If the current temperature deviates from the temperature set
point by more degrees than the value entered here, the column
compartment enters the NotReady state and is not ready for
operation.
Example:
Temperature set point: 45 °C, ReadyTempDelta: 1 °C.
The column compartment is ready for operation when the
current temperature is between 44 °C and 46 °C. If the current
temperature is outside this range, the column compartment
enters the NotReady state.
If ReadyTempDelta is set to None, Chromeleon does not check
whether the current temperature deviates from the temperature
set point.
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 column compartment is ready for
operation and the analysis can be started.
Example:
Temperature set point: 45 °C, ReadyTempDelta: 1 °C,
EquilibrationTime: 0.5 min
The column compartment 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.
