6. Acquiring Data with the Coulochem III Driver6.1 OverviewThe basic steps in running samples with the Coulochem III driver are:1. Start Analyst2. Activate a hardware profile. See Section 4 for more on hardware profiles involvingthe Coulochem III detector.Note: Once a profile has been activated it is normally not necessary to deactivate theprofile when closing the Analyst program (unless other components requiredeactivation; the Coulochem III driver does not). If Analyst is closed withoutdeactivating the active profile, restarting Analyst will automatically restart theCoulochem III driver.3. Build acquisition methods as appropriate for the samples. The same method may beused for all samples, or different methods may be used for different samples.Remember to attach Coulochem III parameters to the method. See Section 4 for moreon building acquisition methods.4. Build an acquisition batch.5. Submit batch samples to the batch queue.6. Run the samples in the queue.Figure 6.1 illustrates a simple 5-sample batch using method “DC 2ch with Guard”.Figure 6.1.
