Instrument Options

You can program your LC instrument to automatically turn off the detector after the instrument is idle for a specified amount of time. This setting is applied to all LC instruments configured on the system.

1. Click Administration > Instrument Options.

   

2. Select Turn off the detector and specify the number of minutes to wait after the run queue is idle. An instrument is considered idle when a run in the run queue has completed. If the detector was manually turned on in the Instrument Status, it will stay on until you submit a run.

3. Click Save Settings. After the final single sample or sequence in the run queue is complete, the LC instrument will turn off its detector.

To change or update the laboratory-wide settings for an instrument that is currently launching or running:

1. Change the settings on the Instrument Options screen, and click Save Settings.

2. Close the connection on the active instrument.

   The laboratory-wide settings are applied the next time you launch the instrument.
