Transferring Sample Names |
There is a link between Cirrus and the instrument control software that will allow you to only have to enter the names once. When you set up the autosampler and hit the ´start sample injection´ option, a message comes up asking if your Cirrus Workbook is set up and ready for collection. At this point, the PL-GPC 50 software saves a file called ´autosample.rptl´ in the Cirrus Workbooks folder on your system. If you then go into Cirrus and click on the ´Collection Runlist´ view, under the File menu there is an option to load a runlist. Click on this and then select the .rptl file in the Cirrus Workbooks folder and the information will be loaded into Cirrus.It is worth remembering however that the autosampler sequence is not saved after the run is complete. if you want to mimimise the amount of data that is entered and the amount of saving and loading of files required, you could just enter the sample information into Cirrus and leave the table empty in the PL-GPC 50 software |
