  1. A procedure plan used for the measurements of gases in the Hayabusa2 sample container
  2. Measurements are performed sequentially from Recipe 1 to Recipe 4 in each gas fraction
  3. Recipe 5 is also applied in the case where the gas amount is high
  4. aGases are measured without SORB-AC and then with SORB-AC by opening the valve
  5. bBasic scan time depends on the gas amount and composition
