I am new to this forum and MS.
GC since Babylon.

TIC fell to zero halfway through a run.
On checking the filament was blown.
Agent replaced - blew
Inner/outer source serviced.
SGE Novent removed.
Penning Vac remained about 1.3*10^-5 throughout.
Error message - Filament current is very high.
Trap emmission is lower than setpoint.
Filament is going in a matter of minutes.
Using AP BIP Helium.
No apparent damage on the blown filaments.

Any suggestions?
