Submit a run in Ad Hoc mode
While in Ad Hoc mode, certain run queue, method, and sample submission features are disabled in Acquisition so that you can submit samples at the instrument panel. Runs submitted at the instrument panel appear in the run queue. Ad Hoc activities are recorded in the activity log.
A user with override permissions can exit Ad Hoc mode from any CDS client. In this instance, any in-process runs submitted in Ad Hoc mode will continue to acquire data until the method is complete.

- You are in control of the instrument in Acquisition. See Take or release instrument control.
- You have the Enable Ad Hoc mode permission.
- The Run Queue is idle and does not have any run that is acquiring, waiting, paused, or in a review state.
- You are not connected to an MS or third-party instrument.
- Your Agilent LC instrument does not contain a third party module.
- Your system is not in failover mode.
To enter Ad Hoc mode,
