18 Understanding Your Agilent ChemStation
1 Agilent ChemStation Features
About the ChemStation Software
All ChemStation logbooks report system messages in an extended format and
information strings are printed over multiple lines. Certain reports, e.g.
Sequence report, may truncate filenames to fit all information onto the report
template.
Software User Interface
The ChemStation user interface is designed into Views that group software
functionality according to typical analytical tasks. The following three
standard views are present in all software configurations:
• the Method and Run Control view for controlling and acquiring data from
the instrument,
• the Data Analysis view for reviewing and reevaluating data that has been
acquired,
• the Report Layout view for designing specific report layouts, and
Additional views are present if additional data evaluation modules have been
ordered or for certain instrument configurations that support instrument
diagnostics and verification procedures. A ChemStation Companion view is
available for when it is desirable to have instrument operators run samples
from an easy-to-use, preconfigured table.
