9.13 Automatic Appending CSV File
The procedure below demonstrates how to use Micro GC Fusion to create
continuously updated comma separated value (CSV) files from calibrated methods
using Python software. Running this CSV script appends a new row of analysis results
to the end of a .CSV logfile after each new run has completed.
The CSV file contains the following information:
• time and name of run
• concentration and normalized concentration for each calibrated compound
• area count and retention time for each calibrated compound
At least one compound must be calibrated for a meaningful logfile.
When the Valco Stream Selector is connected, the name of the run field is replaced by
the
port name
defined in the
Valve Configuration
screen.
