Agilent ChemStation Features
About the ChemStation Software
Control Chart Reports
A Control Chart feature is included with the ChemStation software. Once this
feature is installed and selected, the user may automatically track a selected
parameter of a compound each time a method is run. These parameters
include: Amount, Response Factor, retention/migration Time, and Area.
For more information on these Custom and Control Chart reports, see the
online help system.
Utilities and Compatibilities
The ChemStation can import and export data files in the andi (Analytical Data
Interchange) chromatography format of the Analytical Instrument Association
(AIA), revision 1.0, copyright 1992. Data import is supported at compliance
level one (sample information and signal data) and data export at compliance
level two (sample information, signal data and integration results).
The ChemStation includes commands and functions to support the dynamic
data exchange (DDE) standard of the Microsoft Windows platform as both a
DDE client and a DDE server. The command set includes commands to
establish and terminate connections, transfer information in both directions
and execute remote functions.
Customization
The ChemStation can be customized using the powerful command set. These
commands may be grouped to execute automatically a specific function; such a
group is called a macro. Users writing macros may define their own variables,
build in conditional or looping constructs, perform physical I/O including file
handling and user interaction, nest their macros and schedule and exchange
data with other MS-DOS or Microsoft Windows applications.
For more information on customization, see the Macro Programming Guide
which is available as online help.
