6.7 Acquiring Spectra from
the Sequence Control Panel
Overview The Voyager Sequence Control Panel (Figure 6-19) allows:
• Acquisition of multiple samples using different instrument
settings (.BIC) files
• Selection of macros for advanced processing to apply
before or after calibration. You can use the macros
supplied or create your own in the Data Explorer
software.
• External, internal, and internal-update calibration options,
described in Section 6.7.7, Automatic Calibration
During a Sequence Run.
Before you begin Before you begin, read:
