3 Data Acquisition
What is Data Acquisition?
What is Data Acquisition?
During data acquisition, all signals acquired by the analytical instrument are
converted from analog signals to digital signals in the detector. The digital
signal is transmitted to the ChemStation electronically and stored in the signal
data file.
The available data (*.d) files are visible in the ChemStation Explorer. For
quick and easy navigation, you can add additional data file locations to the
ChemStation Explorer selection tree using the Paths tab of the Preferences
dialog box.
