Updating a Custom Report Database
ChemStation enables you to update the custom report database once the database
template is created. Once you link a custom database template to a method and set
the method to update the database, your database can be updated automatically
when running a method or a sequence. For information about setting report parame-
ters, see Chapter 5, “Creating a Method”. ChemStation also allows you to update a
database manually for any data file.
To generate a results file and update the database manually, complete the following
steps:
1 Load a data file
2 Select FullQuant
>>Update DataBase.
ChemStation updates the database. You can view the database now that you have
updated it. For information, see the following section, “Viewing the Database”.
3 Repeat Steps 1 and 2 for every file you want to include in the custom report
database.
As you update the database, the database should grow longitudinally. For each data
file that you update into the database, there should be an additional row of data con-
taining information specific to that data file appended to the bottom of the database.
