Help with Column Compensation (8890)

Hello Mike82284 ,

Definitely no need to apologize on that one, no such thing as a silly question.

If you have not done it already, I would recommend reading the OpenLab Help and Learning entry on creating a column compensation run. If for whatever reason the link does not work, you can find the OpenLab Help and Learning on your PC desktop, as it is installed along with the CDS Software.

Alternatively, you can look it up online on any search engine, which is what I've done to create the hyperlink in this reply.

I hope this helps.

Thanks, appreciate the help!

What's vexing me is I did follow those instructions previously, but the column comp. still isn't working for me.

I can collect the column compensation "blank" just fine; I see it the data file for it.  I can even manually subtract it in the data analysis window post-run....which works, but I thought I could get it to subtract automatically.

I still wonder if I'm doing something bone-headed here.  Do you know if once I run the column compensation, do I update my method to use that compensation profile in the method editor? Do I replace my signal with the profile, or do I collect both, or do I apply the compensation post-run and reprocess?  

Thanks again for your help!  Much appreciated
