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.
