Analysis Conditions

Insert Experiment Steps

Analysis conditions specify the parameters used to guide an analysis.

  When inserting experiments, select the instrument type in the View conditions for drop-down list.

Selections Description
Analysis Conditions [drop‑down box]

Use to browse for an Analysis Conditions file that contains analysis condition parameters to be used in the analysis.

Baseline [button]

Specifies baseline settings if a Wait step depends upon the Baseline.

Establishes the Slope or Acceleration threshold and Duration for determining what constitutes a Stable Baseline, a Change From Baseline, and a Return To Baseline. These values control whether a particular change in the signal is significant to the current experiment — such as defining a stable baseline.

Some Wait steps are contingent upon the values selected — such as if the experiment contains a Wait until Baseline is stable step, the signal is compared to these values to determine if a stable baseline has been established. Lower slope/acceleration values and longer durations create a more rigorous definition of these factors than higher values and shorter durations.

Stable Baseline. [group box] Detected when the signal slope is below the threshold for the indicated duration.

Change from Baseline. [group box] Detected when the signal acceleration exceeds the threshold for the indicated duration.

Return to Baseline. [group box] Detected when the signal acceleration falls below the threshold for the indicated duration.

Delete [button] Deletes the currently selected step. If the step is an experiment, a prompt displays to confirm deletion of all steps for that experiment.
Edit [button] Displays the applicable dialog box for the selected step.
Insert [button]

Inserts a new step into the task list.

To ensure safe operation and reliable results, a chemically inert gas flow should be inserted between flows of two chemically reactive gases such as hydrogen and oxygen.

Insert Analysis Conditions [button]

Loads an entire list of steps, baseline parameters, and peaks parameters from the selected dynamic analysis conditions file.

Step Detail [group box] Displays summary information about the highlighted experiment step.
View conditions for [drop‑down box] Selects the instrument model to use, and the editor only shows the options available for that model. The selection is saved and reused when the file is reopened and disabled during and after analysis.
