Analytical Parameters (Chemistry) window

Use this window to set up the chemistry methods.

Siemens methods are predefined when the system is received. For predefined methods, only expected values, rerun conditions, and correction formulas should be modified.

You can also define new methods. The system can store up to 200 chemistry methods in this window (including predefined methods).

Methods 1-150 are predefined methods. The analytical conditions are predefined. Some of the fields of the analytical conditions are grayed out and cannot be edited.

NOTE

These are Siemens defined methods, only edit user-defined parameters.

Methods 151-200 are reserved for user-defined methods.

Note

When you change and save your settings in the analytical parameter fields the version number in the upper-right corner of the window moves up one numerical increment and the date is updated to the current date, for example, from Ver. 2.0.0.yyyymmdd to Ver. 2.0.1.yyyymmdd (in this example the 2 is the software version and the first 0 is the method parameter revision minor number).
