Removing the FID detector from methods and conserving helium.

Hello, all you need to do in the method is to uncheck each of the FID flows, and uncheck the electrometer and uncheck the Flame on.  With everything unchecked for the FID settings the software will ignore your FID.  Under the Signals section you will also want to uncheck Saving the FID signal.

Setting flows to zero did not work because the GC was trying to maintain a flow rate specified in the method, in this case zero flow.  The system isn't designed to control zero flow, instead we just need to turn them off by unchecking them.

Worked exactly like you said, thanks so much.
