Saving Manual Data
NOTE Chromeleon Xpress does not allow data to be saved.
If you are using Chromeleon, data from manual processing is saved in the
manual sequence under the timebase folder in the local datasource.
To save the data from a manual run:
1. Select the manual folder and select File > Save As.
2. Enter a new name for the sequence.
3. Select the Save raw data check box.
4. Click Save.
3.11.2 Automatic (Batch) Sample Processing
You can use Chromeleon or Chromeleon Xpress to create a list of samples
(a sequence) to be processed automatically. For each sample, the
sequence includes the following:
• A program with commands and parameters for controlling the Dionex
ICS-1100 and autosampler (if used), and for acquiring sample data.
• A quantification method for peak identification and area
determination.
• Additional sample processing parameters (sample name, sample type,
injection volume, etc.).
After creating the sequence, you can start batch processing.
