Revision History ---------------- 1. A.01 original version for ChemStation A.10.01 05-Jan-04 Contribution Purpose -------------------- This macro provides 1) a calibration setup function to allow for easy setup of a calibration table; 2) a QEdit function to allow for manual integration and editing of calibration results; and 3) special reporting macros. Contribution Structure ---------------------- Two macro files: AO_Qedit.mac PChrom2.mac Prerequisites ------------- - MS Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, or Windows XP as required by the revision of the ChemStation in use - The ChemStation software, Rev A.10.01 or higher Installation ------------ Copy the files: AO_Qedit.mac and PChrom2.mac to \Chem32\core\addon. Use --- Load and start the macro with: macro c:\chem32\core\addon\AO_Qedit.mac, go macro c:\chem32\core\addon\pchrom2.mac The macros will add an "AddOn" menu to the Data Analysis menu bar. Operation Overview ------------------ The Qedit-Macro has three main parts. 1. Calibration setup 2. QEdit function 3. Reporting 1. Calibration setup: Load the MSD TIC signal and select a spectrum. Select from the menu bar [Addon] + [MS_Calibration…] + [New_Calibration] Select the ion from the MS Spectrum window with [Shift] + left mouse click Add a component name and an amount Press the button [New CMD] to clear the table for the next peak Press the button [Save/Exit] after all peaks have been specified. 2. QEdit function Open Qedit from [Addon] + [MS_Qedit] + [Qedit] Select the file to work with. Qedit shows the target and qualifier ions (Ions used to calculate ISTD values will not be shown here) The lower right table shows the compound details. Target and qualifier ions can be manually integrated. The integration events will be written to the data file. Press [Save] to save the manual integration events and to calculate the result new. An indication for the quality of the qualifiers can be found in the column Amount. Press [Run] to scroll through all compounds in the list. 3. Reporting Some special reports have been added to the report style: SIM Short : Special report to print the chromatograms as in Short. The number formats can be changed from the menu [Addon] + [MS_REport] + [SetNumberFormat] SIM Short1: shows the TIC(s) if loaded and the signals which have been used for ISTD calculation. Sim Short2: shows only the TIC signals (if loaded). Sim Short3: shows only the TIC signal and no Signal list Menu Modifications The macro also adds a menu item to the UCL, Show Info Toolbar to the program menu, allowing the user to hide or show the Info Toolbar.
