General Purpose Agilent ChemStation Software for UV-Visible Spectroscopy — Overview

Standard Mode Tasks

The Agilent ChemStation modes also offer the ability to focus on specific
tasks.
The standard mode of your general purpose software for UV-Visible
spectroscopy is oriented towards the most common tasks performed in a
analytical laboratory that employs UV-Visible spectroscopy. Four tasks are
available:
• Fixed Wavelength
• Spectrum/Peaks
• Ratio/Equation
• Quantification
A task is selected and activated from the analysis panel's selection box.
The task orientation lets you quickly adjust the software to give you the right
view and answers based on your data. These tasks have been derived from a
survey of the most common UV-Visible spectroscopic tasks done on a routine
basis in analytical laboratories. Historically, these tasks have been developed
on filter photometers or scanning spectrophotometers.
With your spectrophotometer you have the advantage that, by default, the
entire UV-Visible spectrum of your samples is available. So these four tasks
offer different views of your acquired data.
A task switch within the Standard mode is much faster than an entire mode
switch. An additional benefit of these tasks is that the definition of a method
is done within a single dialog.
