Suggested instrument parameters for GC shutdown method

Question

Hello! Our shutdown method that was saved, was over written with our regular acquisition method. What are the suggested instrument parameters for a GC shutdown method? We run an Agilent 6890N with Headspace sampler 7697A using OpenLabs CDS 2.7.

Hi dconner 
 Before you write a new method, if you have audit trails enabled for methods, you could see what the method parameters were before they were overwritten. 
 If you can find a datafile that was created using your shutdown method, you could find the acquisition setpoints (method) for that datafile in Data Analysis.
