Temperature control for autosampler thermostats.
Since driver A.02.04, users could decide whether the temperature of the
thermostats should be a control setting or a method parameter. With the
introduction of Multisamplers, it has been decided that the thermostat should
not be a method parameter for the following reasons:
• Changing the temperature from method to method changes the ALS
• The sample temperature can not be directly controlled, only the
As a result, we are now introducing two modes which can be configured in the
dashboard:
• Constant temperature mode: this mode uses the control setting for keeping
• Variable temperature mode: this mode allows changing the temperature as

correct temperature during method execution, it may have been stored at
higher temperatures with previous methods.

most customers.
a method parameter. This mode may be used for degradation experiments
(this solution is not officially recommended by Agilent) or as a workaround
for reporting. Reporting of control parameters will become available with
the CDS and ICF.
