Preferences - Sequence Tab

On the Sequence tab, the user has the choice of two different data storage
models. These modes define how the sequence data are stored in the
ChemStation.

In this mode of data storage, there is a robust and permanent link between the
raw data and the method. Each data file, whether acquired within a sequence
or as a single run, has links to at least two methods: the method that was used
to acquire the data, and the one that was used for data analysis.
The sequence data are stored in a sequence data container using a defined
sequence container name. You can specify the naming conventions (Name
Pattern) for these sequence containers in the Sequence tab of the Preferences
dialog box. If no name pattern is specified, a default sequence name pattern is
used. The Sequence Tab is used only for data acquisition and therefore is
present only for online systems.
The sequence name pattern can contain various sections. The system creates a
name for your sequence data container that is determined by the sequence
name pattern sections you select. All data files, methods, the sequence
logbook, the sequence_name.s file and the sequence_name.b file belonging to
this particular sequence are stored in the sequence data container. The
sequence data container is created when the sequence is started.
The sequence (.s) files are used as sequence templates, and this concept allows
you to run any sequences.s file multiple times without overwriting existing
data and without changing the sequence parameters. If neither counter nor
time are used in the sequence name pattern, the system introduces a counter
automatically to avoid overwriting data. For the second, third and all
subsequent sequences using the same sequence template, a counter is added
to the sequence container name.
