2 Data Acquisition
Data Acquisition
As explained previously, when a sequence is run with sequence template
<sequence_name>.S, and the master method <method_name>.M is used, a
new folder is created that contains all resulting files from the sequence
run (“sequence container”).
The location of this folder is determined by the settings in the Sequence
Parameters dialog box; the naming of this folder is determined by the
Sequence tab of the Preferences dialog box. By default, the name is
<sequence_name> <acquisition_date> <acquisition_time>, but it can be
configured by using the tokens Operator, Instrument, Counter, and PC
Name, or you can manually enter any name. If the Name Pattern would not
result in unique names for the sequence containers, the ChemStation will
append a counter to ensure uniqueness.

At the start of an acquisition sequence, the method specified in the
sequence table is copied from the master methods folder into the sequence
container. In addition, a copy of the sequence is created and placed with
the sequence log and the batch (*.b) file in the sequence container. All
updates of the method (e.g. updates of the calibration table) are written to
this sequence method in the container. All necessary files are now
