3.5.5 Automatic Sample Processing
For automated control, you create a list of samples (a sequence) to be
processed automatically. For each sample, the sequence includes a
program with commands and parameters for controlling the ICS-90,
acquiring sample data, and generating reports. Additional sample
processing parameters are included in the sequence (for example, the
sample name, sample type, injection volume, etc.). After the sequence has
been defined, automatic sample processing (also called batch processing)
is started.
