Commands and Tips for Third-Party Devices
Shimadzu GC-2010/2014 GC System: Inlet (Split/Splitless and On-Column/PTV)
The following commands and properties are available for the Split/Splitless SPL-2010, Split/Splitless SPL-2014, and On-Column OCI/PTV-2010 inlets:
Command/Property |
Range/Values |
Description |
ColumnFlow |
|
Indicates the carrier gas flow properties [ml/min]. |
*.Nominal |
0 to 1200 ml/min |
Sets the nominal flow for the carrier gas at the output of the capillary column. The temperature ramp can be programmed with a maximum rate of up to 400 ml/min and up to seven steps (not counting the first one). |
*.Value |
|
Indicates the current carrier gas flow measured at the output of the capillary column. |
Diameter |
0.01 mm to 6.00 mm |
Indicates the internal diameter of the column (read-only). |
FanTemperature |
0°C to 100°C |
(On Column OCI/PTV-2010 only) Sets the cooling temperature of the air fan. |
FilmThickness |
0.0 µm to 300.0 µm |
Indicates the film thickness of the column. |
FlowCtrl |
On, Off |
Turns the column flow on or off. |
FlowMode |
Pressure; Velocity; Flow |
Determines which parameter is controlled for the column. |
GasSaver |
On, Off |
Turns the gas saver on or off. |
GasSaverSplitRatio |
0.0 to 9999.9 |
Sets the split ratio to reduce the the split flow and thus carrier gas consumption. |
GasSaverTime |
0 to 9999.9 min |
Sets the retention time when the gas saver shall become active. The time setting must be after the injection and purge times. |
GasType |
He, N2, H2, Ar |
Indicates the type of carrier gas. |
Length |
0.1 m to 250.0 m |
Indicates the column length. |
Mode |
Split, Splitless, Direct |
Indicates the split mode. |
PulseEnable |
Off, On / Auto |
Turns the pressure pulse on or off. |
PulsePressure |
0 to 970 kPa |
Sets the input pressure for high-pressure injection. |
PulseTime |
0 to 9999,9 min |
Sets the duration of the pressure pulse. |
PurgeCtrl |
On, Off |
Turns the purge option on or off. |
PurgeFlow |
|
Provides information on the purge flow [ml/min]. |
*.Nominal |
0.0 to 1200.0 ml/min |
Sets the nominal purge flow. The flow ramp can be programmed with a maximum rate of up to 400 ml/min and up to seven steps (not counting the first one). |
*.Value |
|
Indicates the current purge flow. |
PurgeTime |
0.00 to 9999.99 min |
In splitless mode, this parameter sets the period of time during which the flow is not split. After this period, the flow corresponds to the flow set in the split mode. |
Pressure |
|
Indicates the properties of the inlet's column pressure [kPa]. |
*.Nominal |
0.0 to 979.0 kPa |
Sets the nominal pressure of the column (read-only). |
*.Value |
|
Indicates the current pressure in the column head. |
SplitRatio |
|
Specifies the split ratio. Programmable with up to seven steps. |
*.Nominal |
-1.0 to 9999.9 |
Sets the nominal value for the split ratio. |
*.Value |
|
Indicates the current split ratio (read-only). |
Temperature |
|
Sets the temperature properties [°C]. |
*.Value |
depends on inlet type |
Sets the current inlet temperature (read-only). |
*.Nominal |
depends on inlet type |
Sets the target operating temperature for the inlet. When the PTV type is used, use this parameter to program a temperature ramp with a rate of up to 250°C/min and up to seven steps (not counting the first one). |
*.UpperLimit |
depends on inlet type |
Sets the maximum inlet operating temperature. |
TotalFlow |
|
Provides information on the total flow [ml/min]. |
*.Nominal |
0.0 to 1200 ml/min |
Determines the total flow calculated from the sum of the column flow rate, split flow rate and the flow in the column's purge head septum. |
*.Value |
|
Indicates the current total flow. |
Type |
Unknown |
Indicates the selected inlet type (read-only). |
Velocity |
|
Indicates the linear speed in the column [cm/s]. |
*.Nominal |
From 0 to a value where the calculated column input pressure is 970 kPa. |
Sets the average linear speed of the carrier gas in the column. |
*.Value |
|
Indicates the current linear speed in the column (read-only). |
