11.1 The Method Editor
CAUTION
Only trained users should create methods. Selecting a
parameter that is incorrect may provide an inaccurate
analysis of the compound(s) sampled.
The Method Editor function creates methods for the identification, qualitative and
quantitative analysis of volatile organic compounds in the sample. Although the
method is created on the Laptop, the Method can be saved to the HAPSITE to
allow for portable operation. The information needed for each component of the
HAPSITE Method is described on the following pages:
 The Description page, which specifies the type of Method being built.
 The Startup page, which sets all the initial temperatures. This is where the
input device is selected (i.e., Probe, Headspace or SituProbe).
 The Inlet page defines the temperatures, timing and other gas chromatograph
parameters as well as accessory control parameters if installed.
 The Tune page requires the selection of a Tune/Calibration file which defines
the Mass Spectrometer response parameters. The Tune report can be
displayed on this page and on the Tune page.
 The Full Scan component, which defines the mass range and other
parameters of the Mass Spectrometer operation, is defined on the Full Scan
page. For SIM (Selected Ion Monitoring) collection, this component is
configured on the SIM page.
 The Search page sets the Calibration/Quantitation component, which
designates the Target Library file to access and search. This page also sets the
global GC/MS peak designation/integration parameters and various reporting
options.
 The Data page, which 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 IQ\ data\ method name\ file name. file extension, e.g., C: \ER
IQ\data\Method01\filename.hps.
