For 21CFR11 environments, this section is applicable only to members of the Developer group, however, members of the Analyst group may find information in this section helpful. Sample file information that is available to Analysts is created by a member in the Developer group using information in this section. |
Each analysis must be linked with a sample file before the analysis can proceed. A sample file can consist of parameter files; however, parameter files can also stand alone.
Specify or change the default display option by selecting Options > Option Presentation or select Basic or Advanced from the drop-down list at the bottom of the window.
Sample files must be initially created in Advanced option presentation. After the sample files are saved, the files are accessible in Basic and Restricted option presentation.
The values specified in the parameter portions of the default method are the defaults for new sample files. To navigate from one set of parameters to another, select the parameter tab across the top of the window.
Sample Tube parameters are edited on the Sample Description tab.
A bar code reader may be used to enter text into many of the fields on the Sample Description window. Use a mouse to click in the field first where information is to be entered then scan the bar code with the bar code reader. |
Field or Button | Description | ||
---|---|---|---|
Active Metals [button] ![]() |
Displays a list of active metals. | ||
Comments [text box] | Enter comments about the sample or analysis. Comments display in the report header. | ||
Mass [group box] | If mass = 1, the reported surface area equals the total surface area but it is always shown as m2/g. If an accurate mass is entered, the reported surface area is normalized per gram of sample. Choose whether to enter mass manually or have the system automatically calculate mass. Enter a value for sample mass. Mass can be changed any time before, during, or after analysis. Enter. Enables the Sample mass field. Enter a value for the sample mass. Calculate. Enables the Empty tube and Sample + tube fields. Enter the values necessary to calculate the sample mass. Equation used to calculate sample mass: Masssample = Masssample+tube – Masstube Density. Value is used for the calculated free space method only. Use 0.000 for a blank analysis. |
||
Method [drop‑down box] | Select a method from the drop-down list. | ||
Operator [text box] | Enter operator identification information. This field label may have been renamed or may not display if modified in Options > Default Methods. | ||
Sample [text box] | Enter a sample description. | ||
Sample Tube [drop‑down box] |
Select a sample tube file from the drop-down list, or click Edit to modify or create a new Sample Tube file. | ||
Submitter [text box] | Enter submitter identification information. This field label may have been renamed or may not display if modified in Options > Default Methods. | ||
Type of Data [group box] |
Automatically collected. Select if the type of data will be automatically collected by the system while an analysis is running. Manually entered. Use to enter data manually that was collected from another source. If Manually entered is selected, the Isotherm Report becomes available in the Basic/Advanced drop-down list for pasting or importing data into the file. See Manually Enter Data. |
||
User Parameters [group box] |
These fields are primarily used for the SPC (Statistical Process Control) reporting to specify sample characteristics or its manufacturing process but may be used for other data by entering specific analysis conditions or sample criteria. The entered parameters display on the Summary Report. Some fields may not display (or may have a different field label) if modified in the method from which the sample file was created, either through Options > Default Method or File > Open > Method. See SPC Report for Physical Adsorption. | ||
