Operating System
The ChemStation requires Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP3 or
Windows Vista Business SP1 operating system.
The ChemStation Control Charts feature requires MicroSoft Excel.
Methods and Sequences
The analytical method fully describes how a particular separation is
performed. It contains all parameters for instrument control, data acquisition
and evaluation, including integration, quantification and reporting. The
system may be set up to acquire data from a number of samples by different
methods. The control file for this sort of operation is called a sequence, and
holds the individual sample information, references to the appropriate
methods, and automatic recalibration specifications. For further information
on methods and sequences, see “Automation” on page 26 and the online help
system.
System Configuration
The configuration of the instrument system is done through the configuration
editor program. It allows you to define your instruments, their GPIB or LAN
addresses, the directories for your data, sequences and methods and the color
definition for the ChemStation software. For further information, see the
handbooks supplied with the additional ChemStation modules.
