Imported ChemStation method parameters

The following parameters of the ChemStation method are loaded into a new processing method:

  • Compound name

    Note that only those compounds are imported that have the peak usage main in the ChemStation method.

    Compound names can be redundant if used with different signals.

  • Signal name

  • Expected retention time

  • Retention time window

  • Flag if a compound is an internal standard (ISTD)

  • Associated ISTD that a compound refers to

    • If there is only one ISTD, it is the associated ISTD of all other compounds.

    • ISTDs with an empty name are ignored.

    • Groups that are used as ISTD are ignored.

  • ISTD amounts are not imported. A warning is displayed if there is an ISTD compound without an ISTD amount.

  • Integration events:

    • Standard integration events (initial events and timed events)

    • Advanced integration events

    • Integration settings for all signals, and signal specific settings

      The respective signal node in the processing method is automatically created even if the loaded data does not contain such a signal.

      Detector specific events (for all signals of a specific detector) in the ChemStation method are ignored.

    • ChemStation integration events that do not have an equivalent in Data Analysis are ignored and are not imported. This is the case, for example, for the Update peak height event.

    • The initial events always contain the additional integration event Area% reject, with a default value of 0.0.
