Readiness

The states of the various hardware components are among the factors that determine
whether the GC is Ready for analysis.
Under some circumstances, you may not wish to have a specific component's readiness
considered in the GC readiness determination. This parameter lets you make that choice. The
following components allow readiness to be ignored: inlets, detectors, the oven, and PCM.
For example, suppose an inlet heater is defective but you don't plan to use that inlet today. By
deselecting the Enable checkbox under Readiness for that inlet, you can use the rest of the GC.
After the heater is repaired, reselect the checkbox or the run could start before that inlet's
conditions are ready.
To ignore a component's readiness, tap Settings > Configuration, then select the component.
Scroll down until the Readiness field is visible, then tap the Enable checkbox to remove its
checkmark.
To re-enable a component's readiness, tap Settings > Configuration, then select the
component. Scroll down until the Readiness field is visible, then tap the Enable checkbox to
restore its checkmark.
