Turns the gas saver on and off. |
GasSaverFlow |
0.0 ml/min in 0.1 increments |
1000.0ml/min |
² (Demo mode: |
Reduced flow from the split vent when the gas saver is active. The value must be at least 15 ml/min higher than the value for the column flow. |
GasSaverTime |

999.99 min |
² (Demo mode: 2.00 min) |
Retention time when the gas saver shall become active. The time setting must be after the injection and purge times. |
GasType |
Nitrogen, Hydrogen, Helium, Argon Methane, Unknown |
² (Demo mode: Off) |
Gas type. |
|
Mode |
Split, Splitless) PulsedSplitless, PulsedSplit, SolventVent/Vent |
² (Demo mode: Split) |
Operating mode (split or splitless, with or without pulse). |
|
Pressure |

Properties related to the gas pressure. |
Pressure. |
0.00 bar |
10.00 bar |
² (Demo mode: |
Target gas pressure. |
Pressure.Value |

Measure gas pressure (read-only). |
Pressure |
0.00 min |
999.99 min |
² (Demo mode: |
After reaching the target gas pressure, the GC waits the time specified under PressureEquilibration |
PulsePressure |
0.00 bar |
10.00 bar |
² (Demo mode: |
(Only in Pulsed mode) Inlet pressure during injection: The pressure rises to this value at the start of the sample (PrepRun) and remains at this value until the PulseTime is reached. |
PulseTime |
0.00 min |
999.99 |
² (Demo mode: |
(Only in Pulsed mode) Duration of the pressure pulse. |
PurgeFlow |
0.0 ml/min |
1000.0 ml/min in increments of 1 |
² (Demo mode: |
Properties related to the flow from the purge vent. |
PurgeTime |
0.00 min |
999.99 min |
² (Demo mode: |
(Only in Splitless mode) Time when the purge valve shall be opened. |
SplitRatio |
0.1 |
7500.0 in 0.1 increments |
² (Demo mode: 50.0) |
Ratio of the split flow to the column flow. (The column flow is set as a column property.) This property is valid in split mode only if the column is defined. |
VentEndTime |
0.00 min |
999.99 min |
² (Demo mode: |
(Only valid in SolventVent mode) Time at which solvent venting ends. The time should be greater than the time needed for all injections. |
VentFlow |
0.0 ml/min |
1000.0ml/min |
² (Demo mode: |
(Only valid in SolventVent mode) Properties related to the flow from the split vent during the vent period (before the VentEndTime). . |
VentPressure |
0.00 bar |
10,00 bar in 0.01 increments |
² (Demo mode: |
Inlet pressure during the vent period. Set the property to 0 for the lowest possible pressure. |
Note:
² When connecting, Chromeleon reads the value from the instrument and accepts it as default.
