Creating a Default Module Information Template
New .MDF files can be created based on a template file. If MODULE00.MDF is
found in the Workstation directory, the new file will be a copy of the template. If
the template does not exist, the new file will be created based on the program's
built-in defaults.
Note that the template is only used to create new files. To recreate an existing
.MDF file based on the template, delete the old file (MODULEXX.MDF, where XX
is the module address) and edit the module information.
Designing Documentation Structures
First, you need to decide what instrument information you want to track. For
example:
- Name and Serial Numbers of components
- Miscellaneous parameters (Column information, ...)
- Usage Information (Injections, ...)
- Purchase and Warranty Info
- Service History
Then, you need to decide what information should be attached to which module:
In a system where you only acquire data with an ADCB from instruments that are
not controlled by the Workstation, you would attach all information about all
system components to the ADCB module.
In a system composed of a 3800 GC, an 8200 AutoSampler, and a 2000 Mass
Spec, each module would have its own information file documenting its serial
number, name, etc. You would likely attach the Column information to the GC
module.
Within each Module Information File, create sections named after the major
components or operating concepts. You can have as many sections as you want,
although there is a 64K limit to the total size of the information saved in a file.
Within each section, the Injections field is available to keep track of
consumable. The value of this item is expected to be numerical, and each
occurrence of this item will have its value incremented every time the
corresponding module starts. As a result, you can keep track of the number of
injections performed on a column, on a septum, etc...
