22 Biochemical Analysis Software for Agilent ChemStation
2 Kinetics Mode
• Stray light Correction On switches stray light correction option. When stray
light correction is on, a second measurement is made with the starlight
filter in place, and the sample spectrum is corrected for stray light using
this spectrum. The stray light correction increases the minimum cycle time
by the Integration Time (set in the Instrument Parameters dialog box) plus
2 seconds.
• Check Autosave spectra to file to save all acquired spectra to disk. Type a
name for the file in the adjacent field. The spectra are stored in the default
directory (CHEM32\n\DATA) with the .KD extension. The default directory
can be changed in the Config menu
• Prompt for sample information before run will display the Sample
Information dialog box before measurements are started.
• Select Start Run on Trigger to start data acquisition using a closure of
contacts 13 and 15 of the GPIO interface. This ensures that minimum time
elapses (approximately 0.12 seconds) between the trigger action and the
start of data acquisition; it is intended to be used for fast reaction kinetics.
• You can type a description of the method in the Method Information field.
The field accepts any alphanumeric characters, and the description can be
as long as you wish. The text wraps automatically at the end of the line. You
can edit an existing description using any of the standard text-processing
procedures (for example, Copy, Cut, Paste).
