4 Data Acquisition

Script entry

Scripts are special programs, that

execute automatically. Agilent

includes scripts with the Agilent

MassHunter Workstation

Software, and you can write your

own scripts.

You can enter scripts to be run at the following times:

• Before or after samples as part of the method

The sample method can include pre- and post-analysis

scripts. (See Chapter 3, Acquisition Methods)

• Before or after samples in the worklist or batch (insert or

add scripts, respectively)

• Before or after a worklist and after data acquisition

(Figure 55 on page 113)

Scripts provided by Agilent should not be modified since these

files may be overwritten when upgrading the Agilent software.

For detailed instructions on how to enter scripts, see the online

Help. For instructions on how to create scripts, see your Agilent

application engineer.

Agilent includes scripts with the software to help you

automatically, instead of manually, execute processes such as

column conditioning and valve shutoff. See Table 10 on page 95

for a list of possible scripts.
