I am using OpenLab Chemstation C.01.10 on an 8890 with dual FIDs. I was trained on HP's version of Chemstation that reported both detector quant amounts in one row for precision purposes. It made it 10x easier to review data and confirm sample concentrations for my HAA5 analysis with both signals on the same row. I have been fiddling with the report designer, but I cannot seem to figure it out. Is it possible for the software to report in the manner described?
Hello,
It is a single injection report. The compounds are calibrated separately on each signal. I have 18 compounds per signal (2 are ISTDs). I am essentially looking for something like the attached picture, if possible.
Marty,
I appreciate you taking the time to provide the video and thorough instructions. I was able to follow along with no issue and essentially match what you had done throughout. The one difference was I used the Short ISTD as a template. I'm not sure if that will make a difference in my follow up question. I am applying the modified report to my quantitation method, but I am getting different reports in the Data Analysis tab and the Review tab. I've attached a copy of both. The Review tab report looks exactly how I want it, but for some reason is not pulling data over. The Data Analysis report is, well, a mess. It isn't hiding tables at all. I typically review data in the Data Analysis tab and generate a report by using the Classic Quantitation option. I changed my report to Intelligent Report and selected the file, as well. Do you have any suggestions to remedy this?
Hello,
Starting with the ISTD report should not change anything from the example. One possible issue with the report in data analysis would be you need to update the report template. If you are using result sets in Chemstation, which is the default, the software saves the template in the result set. So, for example, if I add an IR template to my method called Test.rdl and run or reprocess the result set a copy of the template is now inside the result set. Any further reprocessing or report creation in DA with that data uses the copy of the template inside the result set. This mean if you now edit the master test.rdl template, it will not match the copy inside the result set. However, if you create reports in the review mode it will use the edited template, as it always use the master templates. To update the report template in the result set you need to select it again in the specify report section of the method and overwrite the copy in the result set.
Nick,
Okay that is strange did you reprocess the result set after making the changes to the method? IR reports work with the ACAML file that is created during reprocessing. If you have direct access to the data, you can check for the presence of the sequence.acaml.
