10.1 The Method Editor
The Method Editor function in ER IQ creates methods to identify and quantify
volatile organic compounds. The Method Editor function is composed of the
following pages:
 The Description page for entering a description of the method.
 The Startup page for selecting the type of method, such as Probe,
Headspace, SituProbe or SPME, to be created. Temperature settings are
also selected on this page.
 The Inlet page defines the temperatures, timing, inlet and valve states.
 The Search page designates the calibration library for the method. This page
also sets the Library Search Parameters.
 The Data page sets the Data File (file extension.hps) component and
specifies where the data will be stored. By default, the data file pathway uses
the pathway of IQ Software\H###\Data\method name\file name.file extension.
 A Summary page is provided, at the end of the Method Editor, to review and
print the method parameters.
NOTE: Methods cannot be viewed, created or changed when the access level
is set to Normal.
Each page of the Method Editor shows a profile at the bottom of the Inlet States
and Temperature. See Figure 10-1. For questions relating to method
development, please contact INFICON for application support.
