The GC Status Bar

The GC Status Bar of the main window displays useful information about the status and functioning of the gas chromatograph to which MON 20/20 is connected.

Figure 1-17.The GC Status Bar

The GC Status Bar contains the following sections:

•GC - The first row displays the name of the GC to which MON 20/20 is connected. If MON 20/20 is not connected to a GC, “Not Connected” displays in this row. If MON 20/20 loses its connection to the GC, “Comm Fail” displays in this row, and the program will automatically try to reconnect. The second row displays status flags such as active alarms (with red background), unacknowledged alarms (with red background), or File Edit modes.

•Det # - Each row displays the identification number of the detector monitoring the alarm status of the connected GC. A GC can have a maximum of two detectors.

•Mode - Each row displays the mode of the appropriate detector. Potential modes are: Idle, Auto Cal, Auto Base, Auto Anly, FCal.

•Stream - Each row displays the current stream being analyzed by the appropriate detector.

•Next - Each row displays the next stream to be analyzed by the appropriate detector.

•Anly - Each row displays the analysis time for the appropriate stream.

•Cycle - Each row displays the total cycle time, in seconds, before the next analysis starts for the appropriate detector.

•Run - Each row displays the amount of time, in seconds, that has elapsed since the current cycle began for the appropriate detector.
