Command/Property

Range/Values

Description

AirGap

Yes, No

Allows using an air gap of 1 µl after the sample was drawn into the syringe.

DispenseSpeed

Slow, Middle, Fast

Sets the injection speed.

DrawSpeed

Slow, Middle, Fast

Sets the drawing speed.

DwellTime

0.0 s to 99.9 s

Indicates the dwell time after the injection and before the needle is removed from the inlet.

ErrorCode

0 to 33

Indicates the error code of the sampler or injector if an error occurred.

Inject

Blank
Position
Volume

Performs an injection using the specified parameters.

InjectMode

SampleAir
SolventAirSampleAir
SolventSampleAir
SolventAirStdAirSampleAir
SolventStdSampleAir

Sets the inject mode.

Note: If no sampler is installed, not all injection modes are available.

InjectWaitTime

0.0 s to 10,000,000 s.

Specifies the time between the inject command and the response of the autosampler.

LoadsPerInject

1 to 99

Sets the number of injections per sample.

Position

Sets the position of the sample in the rack.

PreSolventWash

0 to 99

Sets the number of pre-injection cleaning cycles during which the needle is washed with a solvent. Applies only when the selected injection mode is 0 (SampleAir).

Pumps

0 to 99

Determines how often the syringe plunger moves up and down before the sample is actually drawn. This eliminates gas bubbles, and thus enhances reproducibility.

RackType

Short Rack (1-6)
Long Rack (1-12)

Displays the rack type.

Reset

Resets the injector.

SampleWash

0 to 99

Sets the number of cleaning cycles with sample before injection.

SolventSelect

All

A only

B only

C only

(only available if a sampler is installed) Select the wash solvent.

If no sampler is installed, you can select between using one or three wash vials (see Use3SolventVials).

SolventWash

0 to 99

Sets the number of post-injection cleaning cycles during which the needle is washed with a solvent.

State

On, Off

Indicates the injection state (read-only):
On = The injection has been performed
Off = The injection has not yet been performed

Status

Indicates the autosampler's status (read-only).

SyringeSpeed

Slow, Fast

Sets the syringe speed with which the syringe descends into the vial.

SyringeHeightDown

0 to 2 mm (for 1.5 ml vials)
0 to 10 mm (for 4 ml vials)
default: 0 mm

Sets how deep the needle descends into the vial. The Down parameter defines a position below the default Shimadzu position.

SyringeHeightInj

0 to 22 mm
default: 0 mm

Defines how deep the needle descends into the injector during sample injection.

SyringeHeightUp

0 to 20 mm
default: 0 mm

Sets how deep the needle descends into the vial. The Up parameter defines a position above the default Shimadzu position.

Syringe

0.5 µl, 5 µl, 10 µl, 50 µl, 250 µl

Indicates the syringe type (read-only).

Use3SolventVials

Yes, No

(only available if no sampler is installed) Sets the number of solvent vials used for washing (Yes = use 3 vials; No = use 1 vial). Also, see SolventSelect.

VialType

1.5 ml, 4 ml

Indicates the vial type.

Viscosity

0.0 s to 99.9 s

Sets the number of seconds that the pressure plunger of the syringe pauses after the pump and injection strokes. (Adapt this value to the viscosity of the sample.) While drawing sample before the injection, the system pauses for the defined time or a minimum of 4 seconds. The waiting time during the solvent wash is always 0.2 seconds.

Volume

0.1 µl to 8.0 µl

Specifies the injection volume of the sample.

VolumeForWashing

60%, 80%

Specifies the wash volume.

WashSpeed

Slow, Middle, Fast

Sets the plunger speed for pumping or cleaning the syringe with sample liquid.
