Method Directory Structure
Method Directory Structure
A method comprises a group of files stored in the method directory.
The methods subdirectory comprises all the method subdirectories that have a
.M extension. Additional methods subdirectories can be added using the
preference settings.
Method files with the .MTH extension contain parameter sets and are in
UNICODE format. The file INFO.MTH comprises the method control
parameters.
Method files containing the instrument parameters have the name of the
related analytical module. For example:
Table 6 Method file examples
HPCE1.MTH Comprises the acquisition method for the Capillary
Electrophoresis.
ADC1.MTH Comprises the Agilent 35900 acquisition method. If two identical
instruments are configured, the method files are called
ADC1.MTH, ADC2.MTH.
DAMETHOD.REG For data evaluation.
LALS1.REG Comprises parameters for the Agilent 1100/1200 Series
autosampler when a classic modular LC system is configured.
The method files for the other Agilent 1100/1200 Series modules
follow the same convention Lxxx1.reg where xxx is the module
acronym.
AgilentSamplerDriver
1.RapidControl.xxx.x
ml
Comprises parameters for the Agilent 1100/1200 Series
autosampler when a modular LC system is configured. Several
.xml files are present for the various parts of the parameters
(indicated by the xxxpart of the file name). Similar .xml files are
available for the other modules.
