Analysis condition defaults for metal stoichiometry factors can be set using the sample information metal table editor. Stoichiometry factors can also be set for each pulse chemisorption experiment using the analysis conditions experiment step editor. If required, stoichiometry factors for a completed pulse chemisorption experiment can be viewed and modified using the peak editor’s stoichiometry settings window. |
For dynamic analyses, the Loop Volume and Environmental Default values must be correct before starting an analysis. |
Each analysis must be linked with a sample file before the analysis can proceed. A sample file can consist of parameter files; however, parameter files can also stand alone.
Specify or change the option presentation by selecting Options > Option Presentation or use the view selector drop-down list at the bottom of the window.
Sample files created in the Basic option presentation are selected from parameter files created in the Advanced option presentation. The values specified in the parameter portions of the default method are the defaults for new sample files. To navigate from one set of parameters to another, select the parameter tab across the top of the window.
