Creating a Method

Time Program

ChemStation enables you to set acquisition parameters for up to 10 sections, known
as steps, in a time program. This enables you to change any method parameters part
of the way through a time resolved analysis. For example, you can change the
masses or load a different tuning file at a specific time in the sample run. You can set
different parameters for each step, or you can copy parameters from one step to
another. You complete this step in creating a method only if you are using Time Pro-
gram acquisition.
To set the Acquisition Mode to Time Program, complete the following steps:
1 Click the Time Program button.
The button is marked and the selected mode is outlined.
