Operating The Gc/Msd From The Data System; Operating The Gc/Msd From The Lcp - Agilent Technologies 5975T LTM GC Operation Manual

Operating the GC/MSD from the Data System

The software performs tasks such as pumping down, monitoring pressures,
setting temperatures, tuning, and preparing to vent. These tasks are described
in this chapter. Data acquisition and data analysis are described in the
manuals and online help supplied with the MSD ChemStation software.

Operating the GC/MSD from the LCP

The local control panel (LCP) shows the status of the GC/MSD or initiates a
task on the MSD without accessing the Agilent GC/MSD ChemStation.
The GC/MSD ChemStation may be located anywhere on the site local area
network (LAN), so the GC/MSD ChemStation might not be near the
instrument itself. And because the LCP communicates with the GC/MSD
ChemStation via the LAN, you can access GC/MSD ChemStation software
functions, such as tuning and starting a run, right from the MSD.
Only certain functions are available from the LCP; the GC/MSD ChemStation is the
N O T E
full-featured controller for most instrument control operations.
Modes of operation
The LCP has two modes of operation: Status and Menu.
Status mode requires no interaction and simply displays the current status of
the MSD instrument or its various communication connections. If you select
[Menu], then [No/Cancel], you will be returned to the Status mode.
Menu mode allows you to query various aspects of the GC/MSD and to initiate
some actions like running a method or sequence or preparing to vent the
system.
To access a particular menu option:
