1.1 Purpose of program
«IC Net 2.3» is the name of the data acquisition and control
software for PC-controlled ion chromatographic systems consist-
ing of Metrohm and Bischoff instruments. The current version is a
true 32-bit application. It was designed specially to operate un-
der Windows 2000, Windows XP ans Windows Vista and uses all
its benefits.
The «IC Net 2.3» program can be used to create systems for re-
cording and evaluating chromatograms. Time programs can also
be created in which a large number of instrument functions can
be triggered for each program step. It is also possible to use pro-
grammable signals to control external instruments.
The operating software meets all the requirements you could
place today on a modern integration software: single or multi-
point calibration, internal or external standard, selectable algo-
rithms for non-linear calibration, various integration modes with in-
tegration parameters and integration events, different methods for
peak recognition, peak editor, free scaling, superimposing sev-
eral chromatograms, use of sample tables and batch reprocess-
ing; a powerful and GLP-conform report generator with output in-
terfaces for monitor, printer and external databases.
The «IC Net 2.3» software can be configured and used in order
to comply with the Electronic Records and Signatures Rule,
known as 21 CFR Part 11, established by the U.S. Food and
Drug Administration (FDA). For this purpose, the program con-
tains password protection, user administration, electronic signa-
tures, audit trail and administration of methods and results in da-
tabases. To use the 21 CFR Part 11 features of «IC Net 2.3» the
operating system Windows 2000 or Windows XP with NTFS file
