Using the ChemStation Reports
Report Destination
.CSV The report is in Comma Separated Values (CSV) format. This is a very simple
format for tabular data that is accepted by many spreadsheet programs and
databases. Independent from the report style selected, only the information
contained in the report style "Short" will be saved.
There can be several .DIF and .CSV files for a single report. For each report
block, the first file, for example, REPORT00.CSV, contains the report header
information. Subsequent files contain the tabular results.
If the results are sorted by retention/migration time, only one file is required
for the complete table, for example, REPORT01.CSV.
If the results are sorted by signal, a separate table is required for each signal.
In this case, the files are named Report01.CSV through ReportNN.CSV, where
NN is the number of the signal.
.XLS
The report is exported to a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet in (XLS) format. The
data generally requires additional processing.
.PDF
The report is printed to a .pdf file. The ChemStation setup installs a PDF
printer, called "PDF-XChange 4.0". This Printer will only be visible in the Start
Menu/Settings/Printers and Faxes until the computer is restarted. When
ChemStation is started, another temporary printer is created called
"ChemStation PDF" based on the PDF-XChange printer. While any
ChemStation session is running, ChemStation PDF will be listed in the Start
Menu/Setting/Printers and Faxes. The option Unique pdf file name allows to store
the .pdf reports independent of the reports, with file names
<sequence_container_name>_<data_file_name>.pdf
