INT7 A/D Converter 1 INT7 Acquisition card 1 INT7 Acquisition card This manual describes the use of the INT7 A/D Converter with the Clarity software ver. 2.7 and later. INT7 is an internal 24-bit A/D converter card that measures the voltages of chromatographic and electrochemical detectors. - Page 6 INT7 A/D Converter 1 INT7 Acquisition card Advantages of the INT A/D converter No loss of input signal during integration. There are no time delays during which the converter fails to integrate the input signal. No continuous servicing of the input analog switches, which would otherwise cause errors (offset, noise).

INT7 A/D Converter 4 Using the INT7 Card 4.2 Method Setup Parameters of the Method Setup - Acquisition Method Setup - Measurement dialogs depend on the type of analysis (measuring conditions), so they can be specific for various types of analyses. This is the reason for them to be a part of the method. - Page 20 INT7 A/D Converter 4 Using the INT7 Card Higher sampling rate allows for the measurement of narrower peaks, but it also means a larger amount of data which affects the size of the resulting chromatogram and the speed of its processing. Sample rate sufficient for successful peak detection is about 20 samples per narrowest peak.
