Calibrate Using a Stored Data File
In order for the software to calculate amounts for unknown
samples, your method must contain the areas generated for
each component in your standard sample. In order to get
these areas into your method, you can either run the standard
sample again, designated as a calibration run, or you can
calibrate the method using the stored run from before, using
the Analysis>Single Level Calibration command. To use the
stored data file to calibrate the method, follow the steps
outlined below.
1. Select Analysis>Analysis Single Level Calibration
from the menu bar. A dialog box will appear where
you must designate file information for your
calibration.
2. Enter the sample identification in the first field. If
you are following the tutorial exactly, this will be
Test.
3. Enter the name of the method you want to calibrate,
including full path name. If you aren’t sure of the
method name, select it from a list by clicking the
Open File button adjacent to the field. The Tutorial
method is Test.met.
4. Enter the data path name, or select it from the list
using the open file button.
5. Enter the name of the calibration data file in the Data
File field. The open file button lets you select the file
name from the disk. The name used in the Tutorial is
Test.dat.
