Data Acquisition
The sequence template references these methods in the sequence table.
As explained previously, when a sequence is run with sequence template
<sequence_name>.S, and the master method <method_name>.M is used, a new
folder is created that contains all resulting files from the sequence run
(“sequence container”).
The location of this folder is determined by the settings in the Sequence
Parameters dialog box; the naming of this folder is determined by the
Sequence tab of the Preferences dialog box. By default, the name is
<sequence_name> <acquisition_date> <acquisition_time>, but it can be
configured by using the tokens Operator, Instrument, Counter, and PC Name,
or you can manually enter any name. If the Name Pattern would not result in
unique names for the sequence containers, the ChemStation will append a
counter to ensure uniqueness.
At the start of an acquisition sequence, the method specified in the sequence
table is copied from the master methods folder into the sequence container. In
addition, a copy of the sequence is created and placed with the sequence log
and the batch (*.b) file in the sequence container. All updates of the method
(e.g. updates of the calibration table) are written to this sequence method in
