Data files

Description
Chromatographic/electropherographic signal data files. The file name
comprises the module or detector type, module number and signal or channel
identification. For example, ADC1A.CH, where ADC is the module type, 1 is
the module number and A is the signal identifier and .CH is the
chromatographic extension.
UV spectral data files. The file name comprises the detector type and device
number (only with diode array and fluorescence detector).
Report data files for the equivalent signal data files.
Sample information macro.
the original sample parameters (like multipliers) are updated during
reprocessing.
Logbook entries which have been generated during a run. The logbook keeps
a record of the analysis. All error messages and important status changes of
the ChemStation are entered in the logbook.
For LC only. Contains instrument curves (gradients, temperature, pressures,
etc.), injection volume and the solvent descriptions.
Contains column information. For GC it also contains the injection volume.
Part of the data file when Save GLP Data is specified.
Contains manual integration events.
