4.4 Methods
A method contains all information necessary for data acquisition, in-
tegration, peak evaluation and quantification. It can be considered
as the chromatogram template, i.e. chromatogram without raw data.
Methods are stored as method files (
*.mtw ) in the Methods directory.
Each system is linked to a method. This method is called processing
method and is opened automatically at the start of a new determina-
tion.
