Getting Started
Installing BindWorks
Before installing BindWorks close any other “Visual” applications. These include pro-
grams written in Visual Basic, Visual C, or other similar applications. If visual applica-
tions are running on your system when you try to install BindWorks an error message will
result. It is only necessary to close these applications during the install process. You may
re-open these applications after completing the BindWorks installation procedure.
To install BindWorks, start Microsoft Windows, then insert the BindWorks distribution
CD in the disk drive. Select Start⇒Run. In the Command Line box, type D:\SETUP and
press ENTER, or browse to locate the appropriate folder and setup le.
BindWorks prompts you for a path name for the program. We suggest you use the default
specication if possible. If you desire a path name other than the default, enter the new
path name in the setup box and press ENTER.
Using BindWorks
Select Start⇒Programs⇒BindWorks⇒BindWorks to run BindWorks. Analysis of data
acquired by the CSC N-ITC III requires three steps:
1. Manipulation of raw data.
2. Integration of the peaks.
3. Modeling and t of data.
Manipulation of raw data
Once the calorimeter has acquired experiment data it may be necessary to manipulate the
data or baseline slightly to minimize any anomalies. Several easy-to-use features make
manipulation of data quick and simple. To load a raw data le into BindWorks:
1. Select the Raw Data tab.
