Hello,
I am not sure exactly what you are doing but to use part of the text in an if you can parse apart the text using string functions or use the like comparison. So your =IF(COUNTIF( A2 ,"*mg*"),"Value if true","Value if false") would be =If(A2…

There could be issues with either control signals to the HED power supply or the power supplied to the HED power supply. These electronic issues are down in the depths of the instrument and should be handled by a trained service engineer. Please contact…
A bit late maybe, but you can set the printer within the macro using the MYPRINTER = "name of printer". Use the command before your STARTPRINT command, and then at the end of the macro remove it (REMOVE MYPRINTER), so that it will only be active for the…

You should always consider that after re-igniting the lamp, it typically requires 60-90 minutes establishing a stable detector signal.
Based on this it does not always make sense and saves lifetime shutting off the lamp.
Keep constant flow 1.2 ml/min into the MS and do a Pulsed Splitless injection, tips in the help section of the Operating manual. Your system's diffusion high vacuum pump can only handle 2.0 ml/min maximum so do not exceed that ever.
If you have a 30m…
