Thermo Scientific TriPlus Sampler: Creating a Program for Liquid Injections
Follow the steps below to create a program for liquid injections:
Use the PGM Wizard to create a program for the timebase.
Add all relevant settings for the sampler in the PGM Editor. Use the example program below for assistance.
The settings must appear before the first time step, i.e., before t = 0.000 min.
Add a Wait Sampler.Ready AND GC.Ready statement directly before the Inject command unless not already included by the PGM wizard.
Example Program
The following is an example PGM for performing GC liquid injections. It is designed as a template and includes all parameters available for the TriPlus As sampler type. You may copy this program and edit parameters according to your specific analysis tasks.
