PAL ITEX-2 Option
3.3. Installation of Macros for Cycle Composer or
Cycles for PAL ICC interpretation
Every PAL ITEX-2 Option is shipped with a CD-ROM containing the various
macros or cycles as described below.
Copy these files to the corresponding folder as described below.
3.3.1. Installation of Macros for Cycle Composer
Navigate in Explorer to the Cycle Composer folder. This is usually installed
in the following path:
C:\Program Files\PAL\Cycle Composer
If you wish to create a separate Method Folder for ITEX-2, copy the folder
‘ITEX-2’ from the CD to the Cycle Composer folder.
In the Cycle Composer use menu "File/Options/Choose Method Folder..."
select the ‘ITEX-2’ folder as the Method Folder.
If you wish to add the ITEX-2 macros to an existing method folder, just copy
the macro (*.pma) and method (*.pme) files from the ‘ITEX-2’ folder on the
CD to the appropriate method folder.
Use the provided test methods to run a short test to verify the operation of
the instrument.
3.3.2. Installation of ICC-Cycles
Navigate in Explorer to the Cycle Editor folder and/or the corresponding
folder of the application within an integrated system.
If you wish to add the ITEX-2 cycles to an existing method folder, just copy the
cycles (*.cyx) files from the ‘ITEX-2’ folder on the CD to the application folder.
4. Adjusting Object Reference Positions
The PAL ITEX-2 Option does not require a special reference position.
The needle tip should be at exactly the same position as if a liquid or
headspace syringe were being used.
However, it is good practice to check the individual positions by using
the PAL ‘Utilities’ functions as described in the COMBI PAL User Manual.
