I just recently started a new position, and it's been a few years since I've vented an MS. It's a 6890 5975.
I started to vent Friday afternoon, I left for the weekend, and came back this morning to see the dialogue box says:
"Vent Cycle Complete
Turbo Pump - Off
Turbo Pump Speed - Actual 0.0%
MS Source Temp - 48C
MS Quad Temp - 35C"
There's two big buttons that say "vent" and "pump down," and then Reconnect, Close, Help, at the bottom.
Is it ok for me now to power off the MS and open the vent valve? The screen on the MSD still says "Agilent 5795 MSD vent prepare . . ." and that's throwing me a little. I thought I remember ChemStation telling me that it's ok to turn off the MSD in a dialogue box.
Also, at what points do I turn off the rough pump when venting and when pumping down?
Thanks!
