Commands and Tips for Third-Party Devices
Perkin Elmer TurboMatrix Headspace Sampler: Options

The following commands and properties are available (please note that the display Filter level determines which commands and properties are displayed):

 

Property

Range/Value

Description

CryoFocus

Off, On

Enables or disables cryo cooling. (This property is available only if cryo cooling is installed on the device and configured in Chromeleon.)

FlowRate

0.01 - 50 ml/min

Determines the expected flow rate. The sampler uses this setting to calculate the time required for injecting the specified volume.

  Note:

During a sample run the driver calculates the correct injection time from the specified column flow and volume. If the specified volume or column flow do not result in a valid injection time, the driver will adapt the volume accordingly. In this case the driver will choose the nearest volume value and thus change the injection list.

InjectMode

Single, Progressive, MHE

Determines the injection mode. For more information, refer to:

 Single and Progressive Injection Modes

 Program Example

 MHE Mode
