Introduction
This chapter contains information on:
• specifying sample defaults
• creating sample files in Advanced, Basic and Restricted formats
• preparing samples and performing an analysis
• printing file contents, listing file statistics, exporting isotherm data, and converting sample files
• generating graph overlays
Specifying Sample Defaults
Sample information files include the information required by the analyzer to perform analyses and col-
lect data. When a sample information file is created, the system assigns the default values specified in
either Advanced or Basic format.
Format Description
Advanced Displays all parts of sample information and parameter files. Navigate to
parameter screens by clicking the tabs across the top of the window.
Basic Displays the entire sample information file in a single window with no tabs
across the top. This option is used once the parameter files have been created.
The previously entered or default parameter files are then accessible using
dropdown lists.
Restricted Displays the sample information file in a single window similar to the Basic
format with certain functions disabled. The Restricted format requires a
password when entering or exiting the Restricted format. It is typically used in
laboratories where analysis conditions must remain constant, for example, in the
pharmaceutical industry. The Advanced format is not available from the
Restricted format.
