The ChemStation User Interface during Data Review

The ChemStation user interface provides a number of features to facilitate

working with the different methods available for data analysis (Figure 15).

• The method modification status is displayed in Data Analysis view, so you

can easily follow if there are unsaved method changes. The user interface

always displays the name of the currently loaded method (together with the

information whether it is an individual data analysis method of a data file

or a sequence method).

• When you move the mouse pointer over this field, a tool tip additionally

displays the complete path and name of the method.

• A dropdown box provides a “shortcut” to the method options of the

Preferences dialog. You can directly enable any of the available options and

it will be applied the next time you load a run from the Navigation Table.

Moreover, it is also very convenient to see which option is currently active.

Note that these options only apply to data review, but not to reprocessing.

Update master method feature

During working on the individual data analysis method, you may decide that

you want to have the data analysis parameters you developed for the

individual method available for the sequence or master method. A right-click

in the Navigation Table on the corresponding run allows you to update your

sequence or master method with the data analysis parameters.
