Shimadzu GC-2010/2014 GC System: General

Please note that the display Filter level determines which commands and properties are displayed:

 

Command/Property

Range/Values

Description

AmbientTemperature

-5°C to 80°C

Reports the ambient temperature (read-only).

AtmosphericPressure

47 to 107 kPa

Reports the atmospheric pressure (read-only).

Connect

 

Connects the device to the data system and enables control from the PC. The connect command fails if a method is started or another software controls the GC.

Connected

Connected/Disconnected

Indicates whether the device is connected to Chromeleon, i.e., whether it is controlled from the PC (see Connect, Disconnect).

Disconnect

 

Disconnects the device from the data system and enables manual control from the device's control panel.

EquilibrationTime

0 min to 9999.99 min

Indicates the time that the GC waits after reaching the target temperature.

ErrorCode

0 to 1000

Indicates the error code if an error occurred (read-only).

Event91

Set, NotSet

Switches the related relay.

Event92

Set, NotSet

Switches the related relay.

FirmwareVersion

 

Indicates the firmware version of the device (read-only).

GC-System

On/Off

Activates the GC according to the parameters on the system's main screen.

OverTemp

OK, Fault

Indicates the temperature status of the column oven (read-only).

Ready

Ready/NotReady

Indicates whether the GC is ready for injection (read-only). Enter a Wait GC Ready command directly before the injection. This ensures that the temperature gradient is performed in due time.

Reset

 

Restores the default settings.

RunState

Ready, NotReady, Diagnosis, Baking, Run, Pre-Run, Post-Run

Reports the GC status (read-only).

SerialNo

 

Reports the serial number of the GC (read-only).

TempCtrl

On/Off

Turns column oven's temperature control on or off.

Temperature

 

Sets the oven temperature [°C].

Temperature.Nominal

0°C to 450°C

Sets the target operating temperature for the column oven. The temperature ramp can be programmed with a maximum rate of up to 250°C/min and up to 20 steps (not counting the first one).

Temperature.
UpperLimit

50°C to 450°C

Determines the maximum allowed oven temperature. The GC interrupts the power supply for the oven if the temperature exceeds the upper limit.

Temperature.Value

0°C to 450°C

Reports the actual oven temperature (read-only).
