3 «IC Net»
The 761 SD Compact IC can be operated via «IC Net» or «IC Cap» (see
Section 4). System and method settings can be modified only with «IC
Net». Use of «IC Cap» is advisable for day-to-day operation. «IC Cap» is
an interface with a simplified GUI which can be used to control the «IC
Net» software.
This Section discusses the most important points of operation of the
761 SD Compact IC via «IC Net». For further details, please refer to
the supplied Software Instructions for Use «IC Net 2.3» (8.110.8283)
and the Online Help in the «IC Net» program.
3.1 «IC Net» – User interface for the 761 SD
Compact IC
Operation of the «IC Net» program is described in detail in the supplied
Software Instructions for Use «IC Net 2.3» (8.110.8283). Only the set-
tings specific to the 761 SD Compact IC are described below.
3.1.1 Systems - Methods
The Systems contain all instrument settings, time programs, the data
recording parameters and a linked process method which has been
optimised for the determination process to be performed (see Software
Instructions for Use «IC Net 2.3», Section 4).
Four systems (
startup.smt , manual.smt , auto.smt and shutdown.smt , see
Section 3.2) are supplied for soft drink analysis. They are saved as sys-
tem files ( *.smt ) in the Systems directory.
To each system a method ( SD_startup.mtw / SD_phosphate.mtw (linked
with manual.smt and auto.smt ) / SD_shutdown.mtw ) is linked . A method
contains all information required for data acquisition, integration, peak
evaluation and result calculation. It can be considered as an empty
chromatogram, i.e. a chromatogram without data. Methods are saved
as method files ( *.mtw ) in the Methods directory (see Software Instruc-
tions for Use «IC Net 2.3», Section 7).
3.1.2 Opening a system
A system window can be opened with IC Net / File / Open / System and
selecting the required system file. It contains icons for data recorders,
Watch window (screen) and all devices which have been installed in
the system. Opening displays the System window on the screen. Here,
we can see the example system window for the manual.smt system:
