Method Editor
15.1 The Method Editor
CAUTION
Only trained users should edit or create methods.
Changing parameters may adversely affect analytical
data.
The Method Editor function in CMS IQ creates methods to identify and quantify
volatile organic compounds. The Method Editor function is composed of the
following pages:
The Description page for entering a description of the method.
The Startup page for selecting the type of method, Air, Water or Ck Std, to be
created. Temperature settings are also selected on this page.
The Inlet page defines the temperatures, timing, inlet and valve states.
The Search page designates the calibration library for the method. This page
also sets the Library Search Parameters.
The Data page sets the Data File (file extension.hps) component and
specifies where the data will be stored. By default, the data file pathway uses
the pathway of CMS5000IQ\data\method name\file name.file extension, e.g.,
C: \CMS5000IQ\data\Method01\filename.hps
A Summary page is provided, at the end of the Method Editor, to review and
print the method parameters.
NOTE: Methods cannot be viewed, created or changed when the access level
is set to Normal.
Each page of the Method Editor shows a profile at the bottom of the Inlet States
and Temperature. See
