Data Acquisition and Control
Commands that are available from the Control menu are
related to data acquisition and control of the instrument. In
general, there are two ways to acquire data: 1) single run
acquisition, where you acquire data for a single injection and
2) sequence acquisition, where you acquire data
automatically for a series of runs using a pre-programmed
sequence that defines the number of injections, methods, file
names, and calibration. Additional control menu items will
appear depending on the features supported by the
instrument configured.
Single Run Acquisition
There are two ways you can acquire data. One way is with a
sequence (for multiple runs), and the other way is to make a
single run. To make a single data acquisition run, you need to
specify the method to be used for analysis, and a file name for
data storage.
Note: In order to use a method for data acquisition, its
Instrument Setup should have the acquisition channel turned
On, and a sampling rate and run time designated.
To make a single run, click the Single Run button
, or
select the Control>Single Run command from the menu. A
dialog will appear.
