System equilibration for an analysis device

Abstract

A method for operating an analysis device, in particular a sample separation device, for performing an analysis includes setting a determined equilibrium value as a control value for a controlled variable of the analysis device, the equilibrium value having been determined in advance by controlling at least one control variable of the analysis device to a target value and determining the resulting equilibrium value of a controlled variable of the analysis device in response to the controlling of the at least one control variable. The method also includes controlling the at least one control variable to the target value such that the control value of the controlled variable is complied with in the process.
