Revision History ---------------- 1. A.06.03 first version included in the UCL Contribution Purpose -------------------- Time Reference Point is a alignment marker in Data Analysis view in Signal Tasks. Time Reference Points will occur either automatically after integration, or are set by ChemStation by clicking the "Set time reference points to chromatogram" button in Data Analysis view in Signal Tasks. In Data Analysis view in Signal Tasks, ChemStation can only delete time reference points(Redlines) in chromatograms one at a time. This macro can erase all time reference points in all loaded chromatograms at the same time. Contribution Structure ---------------------- One macro file: 'DelAllRL.Mac'; Three Bitmap files: 'ErAllD.bmp'; 'ErAllDn.bmp'; 'ErAllUp.bmp'. Prerequisites ------------- - MS Windows 3.1, Windows 95 or NT 4.0 as supported by the revision of the ChemStation in use - The ChemStation software, Rev A.06.03 or higher Installation =----------- (1) Copy the macro file 'DelAllRL.Mac' to the ChemStation's executable directory, \chem32\CORE' by default. (2) Copy the three Bitmap files (ErAllD.bmp, ErAllDn.bmp, ErAllUp.bmp) to \chem32\core\800\. (3) Copy \chem32\core\800\signalt.ini file to \chem32\core\800\signalt.old as a backup. (4) Modify the \chem32\core\800\signalt.ini file as follows: A. Find section [ToolDescriptor]; go the end of this section, insert the following line: 12 = Redlines, PUSHBUTTON,hpgbut02.DLL The results should be: [ToolDescriptor] 1 = NoSel, RADIOBUTTON,hpgbut02.dll 2 = AddTime, RADIOBUTTON,hpgbut02.dll 3 = MoveTime, RADIOBUTTON,hpgbut02.dll 4 = DelTime, RADIOBUTTON,hpgbut02.dll 5 = DelObject,RADIOBUTTON,hpgbut02.dll 6 = Overlay, RADIOBUTTON,hpgbut02.dll 7 = Separate, RADIOBUTTON,hpgbut02.dll 8 = FullScale,RADIOBUTTON,hpgbut02.dll 9 = SameScale,RADIOBUTTON,hpgbut02.dll 10 = ClipWindowLine1,STATIC,hpgwct02.DLL 11 = ClipWindowLine2,STATIC,hpgwct02.DLL 12 = Redlines, PUSHBUTTON,hpgbut02.DLL B. Append the following to the end of file: [PushButton Redlines] ImageList=|| x=0 y=-999 width=32 height=32 Group=1 Command= Help=Delete all time reference points from Chromatogram FrameThickness=2 C. Save and close the file. (5) Create 'user.mac' under "\chem32\core\" or if the file already exists, append a line: macro DelAllRL.mac Save and close the file. Note: (1) If ChemStation is upgraded or re-installed, you must do the above installation again; (2) If you want to remove the feature, just go to 'user.mac' under "\chem32\core\" and delete the line: macro DelAllRL.mac Operation Overview ------------------ (1) After finishing the installation steps specified above, start the ChemStation. Switch to "Data Analysis View", then select "Signal Tasks" (2) Go to menu "UCL" and check MenuItem "EraseRedlines" to turn the feature on. Notice the new button which has message line explanation "Delete all time reference points from chromatogram". Add time reference points (redlines) to all signals, then either show some or all signals, click the new button, and all time reference points (redlines) in all signals, visible or hidden, will gone. (3) Go to menu "UCL" and uncheck MenuItem "EraseRedlines" to turn this feature off.
