Installed Project Folders
Three project folders are installed with the software: API Instrument, Default, and Example.
API Instrument Project
The API Instrument project is unique and very important to the proper functioning of the
instrument. The API Instrument project contains the information required for tuning and
calibrating the instrument. This information includes parameter settings files, reference files,
instrument data files that contain calibration and resolution information, and the acquisition
methods used during automatic tuning. The API Instrument project also contains data files for
manual tuning runs that were performed using the Start button rather than the Acquire button.
These data files are saved automatically in the API Instrument project in the Tuning Cache folder
and named with the date and time they were created. The Tuning Cache is automatically purged
when it reaches 2 GB.
Default Project
The Default project contains folders that are present in new projects and serves as a template for
new projects.
Example Project
The Example project contains sample methods and data files. Users can practice working with
the Explore mode using the example data files. The example files are sorted into subfolders by
instrument type and application area.
