GC long-term memory
Use a Control Module or ChemStation/Cerity Chemical to name and store
methods in long-term memory. A backup battery prevents loss when power is
turned off.
You can define and store up to six methods in the GC. 6850 Series GC methods
that meet the 6850 instrument configuration can be used on the 6850. See your
Agilent GC ChemStation/Cerity Chemical documentation for further details.
