Generating a Semiquantitation Report

ChemStation generates a report showing the results of a semiquantitative analysis in
either of two ways.
• You can tell ChemStation to generate the report automatically each time a method
runs. When you do so, you specify whether to generate a summary or detailed
report, and whether to send the report to the screen, the printer or a file. For
information about how to generate a semiquantitation report automatically (using
a method), see Chapter 5, "Creating a Method".
• You can create a custom report with the data acquired each time the method runs.
Before you can create a custom report in this way, you must set up a custom report
template. For more information about custom reports and databases, see Chapter
11, "Creating Custom Reports".
If you did not tell ChemStation to generate a report automatically, you can also
generate a report manually by completing the following steps:
1 Load a data file.
2 Select SemiQuant>>Generate Report.
The SemiQuant Report Option dialog box will appear.
3 Select the report style.
The following report styles are available:
• Detailed, Text Only
Gives the concentration, counts (cps), background counts, integration time and
possible interference flag for each mass in the sample.
• Detailed
Includes the same information as the Detailed, Text Only report, but which also
includes the spectra generated for the sample at the bottom of the report. This
report can only be sent to the printer.
