NOTE: Once the system has been created and correctly configured, it must be
associated to one or several projects in order to start acquisitions. For more
details about the creation and configuration of a system, refer to the Galaxie
Configuration Manager Users Guide.
Click on the button to print the current configuration.

Building a Method
Creating a New Method

The method contains parameters for instrument control, data
acquisition, chromatogram processing, and editing of final
results. To initially set up a method, it is not necessary to define
all of the sub-method sections; however, you must fill in the
instrument control section prior to starting an acquisition.
1. To create a new method, select the FILE / NEW METHOD
option from the Galaxie Chromatography Data System main
menu.
A wizard guide will appear and assist you through the first
steps of method creation:

2. Choose the system (chromatograph) associated with the
method. A method is created for a particular system. When
starting an acquisition, the name of the system that performs
the acquisition must be correct, since method access is
limited only to those methods associated with this system.
3. Once this field is completed, click on the Next button. Move
to the second step of the method creation:

4. Enter the New Method Name in the first field. In the
Description field, enter information concerning the method
(optional).
5. Once these two fields have been completed, click on the OK
button. The new method is created and is opened with
default parameters in the Galaxie Chromatography Data
System. The next step is the definition of the method
sections.
The instrument control section must be defined in order to
start an acquisition. In the following part of this guide, only
the control section of the method for the 3400/3600 Gas
Chromatographs is detailed. Other parameters such as
Injection Volume, Vial and Rack number may be necessary
and are defined in the acquisition section.
NOTE: For more details about the programming of each method section, refer to the
Galaxie Chromatography Data System Users Guide.
