Sequence Summary Reporting
Sequence Summary Reporting
Overview
The ChemStation can print a variety of standard reports for individual sample
analyses. Sequence summary reporting is an additional way of reporting, that
allows you to calculate and report parameters across a number of different
analyses. It is useful, for example, to test the stability of an instrument or the
robustness of a new method.
A sequence summary report may include:
• a title page,
• instrument configuration, including the revision numbers of the instrument
and details of the analytical column/capillary being used,
• sequence table listings which describe what the automated sequence of
analyses should have done,
• logbook descriptions of what the sequence actually did and any unexpected
events which occurred during the sequence,
• method listings,
• individual reports on each sample,
• statistics on the analyses based on selected criteria—statistics are
calculated only for calibrated compounds, and
• a table of contents with page number references to the detailed sections of
the report.
Setting up a Sequence Summary Report
When setting up a sequence summary report, you can select any combination
of the following nine categories by activating the appropriate check boxes and,
where appropriate, selecting a report style from the template selections. Each
template specifies the contents and layout of that particular section of the
whole sequence summary report.
You can choose one of the following sequence summary report styles:
