Instrument Status Indicators in Acquisition

Instrument Status Indicators in Acquisition

In the Acquisition program, the Instrument Status window indicates the state of
the instrument.
⯀
Gray
⯀
Yellow - Unknown: The device is in an unknown run state.
⯀
Light Orange - Not Ready: The instrument is connected but is not ready to run
(due to not reaching the correct temperature or pressure required by the method,
for example).
⯀
Green - Idle: The instrument is on and ready to process samples.
⯀
Teal - Standby: The instrument is in a standby/sleep state. Put the instrument
in Standby mode when it is not in use or to change the ion source. When the
instrument is in Standby mode:
⯀
Magenta - Prerun/Injecting: The instrument is on and is preparing to start
acquisition.
⯀
Blue - Running, postrun: The instrument is currently collecting data.
⯀
Orange - Tuning: The instrument is in the process of adjusting MS parameters.
⯀
Red - Instrument Error: The instrument has an error and cannot process
samples.
Agilent Revident LC/Q-TOF System User Guide
• Offline: The instrument is configured with the system and available to use,
but the AIC/workstation is not currently running. The amount of time for an
instrument to reach the Idle state depends on each instrument.
• Disconnected: The connection to the instrument has been closed.
• The source interface is on, the drying gas remains heated, and nebulizer
flows are maintained.
• The source and ion optics voltages are turned off, and the mass
spectrometer is not sending spectra to the computer.
• For APCI and multimode sources: Vaporizer gas heaters are turned down.
• For the Agilent Jet Stream (AJS) source: The sheath gas temperature,
drying gas flow, and drying gas temperature are reduced.
• The spray chamber high voltages are turned off.
• The mass spectrometer stops generating spectra.
