3 • Operation and Maintenancenew manual sample is processed. To save the datafrom a manual run, select the MANUAL folder,select Save As from the File menu, and enter a newname for the sequence.3.11.2 Automatic (Batch) Sample ProcessingFor batch processing, you use Chromeleon to create a list of samples (asequence) to be processed automatically. For each sample, the sequenceincludes a program with commands and parameters for controlling theICS-1000, controlling the autosampler (if used), and acquiring sampledata. The sequence also includes a quantification method for peakidentification and area determination. Additional sample processingparameters are included in the sequence (for example, the sample name,sample type, injection volume, etc.).After defining the sequence, you can start batch processing.1. Complete the steps in Sections 3.2 through 3.8 to prepare foroperation and to start up the ICS-1000.2. Create a new sequence or modify an existing one.To create a new sequence:a. In the Browser, select File>New. Select Sequence (usingWizard) and click OK.b. Complete the steps in the Sequence Wizard, adding the desirednumber of samples and standards to the list. For help with any ofthe steps, click the Help button on the Sequence Wizard page.NOTEA simple way to get started is to select the “UseApplication Template” option in Step 4 of theSequence Wizard. This option lets you select acolumn and suppressor type from a list ofapplications. The Wizard then copies a programand quantification method, appropriate for theselected application, to the sequence folder and addsthem to the sequence definition.Doc. 031879-01 3/03 3-19
