How to Report Only Selected Signals in OpenLab CDS

Answer

This Information Applies To: Agilent OpenLab CDS version 2.2 and above

Issue

When collecting more than one signal in the method, for example collecting multiple wavelengths in HPLC UV Detectors, you may want to report selected signals only.

Requirements

The user needs the following Privileges for saving and printing the report: Data > Save reports to disk and Data Processing > Print results reports. For detailed steps on where to set up the Roles and Privileges, see the article: How to Create or Edit Roles in OpenLab Chromatography Data System.

Steps to Follow

1. Start OpenLab CDS Data Analysis and load data.

2. In Data Processing navigation view, click the File tab (Figure 1).
