Start up the spreadsheet "splitter_calc.xls" in Excel. We will choose to have
2 mL/min go to the ECD initially. With a split ratio of 3, this will send
6 mL/min to the MSD. This flow is acceptable with a performance turbo
system but will give somewhat degraded detection limits. Fill in the input
column as shown (Figure 19) with the ECD assumed to be Detector 1 and the
MSD as Detector 2.
