Archive format
It is not essential to know this in order to store data or
read them from the archive, but it does no harm to
explain it anyway:
File names
Files fresh from the chromatograph are named in \pgcarch\gc0101\
RP0101A.001 ... 999 Reports
RD0101A.001 ... 999 Chromatograms
RC0101A.001 ... 999 Raw data
Files from the archive are named as follows in \pgcarch\gc0101\
RP0101A.X00 ... X99 Reports
RD0101A.X00 ... X99 Chromatograms
RC0101A.X00 ... X99 Raw data
Files in the archive (e.g. \bedi\archiv\my_own.*) are named
my_own.GCA Info file
my_own.CRL Management file
my_own.000 ... 499 Reports
my_own.500 ... 999 Chromatograms
my_own.V00 ... Z99 Raw data
my_own.M00 ... M99 Method
The text pattern is always present in \bedi and is named as follows
VORLAGE1.TXT This is the text pattern
VORLAGE1.CRL Management file
Analytical methods
When reading from the archive, the archived method
overwrites the method in the directory \meth\... if this
method already exists.
Selection of runs
All files with the extensions .000 , .X00 and .I00 are
available for selection of the run when storing (any
number can be present instead of the 0).
Port/slave information
The port/slave information is lost in the archive. Watch
out when saving files from different chromatographs
into the same archive!
Current chromatograph
When reading from the archive, all files are entered into
the \pgcarch\gc directory which belongs to the currently
selected chromatograph. These are then again called
e.g. \pgcarch\gc0103\rp0103a.x00 .
