Mandatory

The analysis orders generated by the LIMS (thanks to XML commands or collected via SQL queries) contain a set of parameters used by the CDS to perform the acquisitions and process the results (for example, instrument name, vial).

As not all the LIMS are able to provide the same level of information in the analysis order, the Sample Scheduler administrator must define which parameters the LIMS is able to provide, and that will be required mandatorily in all commands.

To select the mandatory parameters, display the Command tab, then check the parameters in the Mandatory column.

 

Commands

Once a command is generated by the LIMS, the Sample Scheduler LIMS agent checks if all the mandatory parameters are present. If they are all present, an analysis is generated. If at least one of the mandatory parameters is missing from the command, the command is trashed (sent to the LIMS_Commands/trash folder), no analysis is generated.

The default selected parameters are the ones required by the CDS to start the analysis: SampleName, Project, Instrument, InjectionSource, AcquisitionMethod, ResultName, Vial, and InjectionVolume (either InjectionVolume or UseMethodInjectionVolume).

The parameters listed in the Command table can all be defined in a command. The parameter names correspond to the ones used in the XML command. In the case SQL queries are used to collect analysis order, the same parameter names must be used.
