Feature |
New on Version 9 |
|
Plain
comparison. Results from several signals are tabulated without
additional arithmetic or statistical calculations |
New |
|
Reverse
baseline subtraction. An option can be activated in the parameter file
that will instruct the software to hold off the processing of a sample
until a blank is acquired. This is useful for high temperature simulated
distillation where it is preferable to use the blank after the sample
and not the one prior. |
New |
|
Graphical
adjustment of quenching window. Two markers that indicate the beginning
and end of the solvent peak can be moved with the mouse. |
New |
|
Automatic
quenching window detection. When this option is activated in the
parameter data file, an algorithm is used to try to detect the beginning
and end of the solvent peak. |

applications such as MS Excel. |
New |
|
An option
to skip solvent peak during external standard calibration was added in
the integration page of the parameter file. |
New |
|
Button to
select / deselect all signals was added to the print and export dialogs. |
New |
|
A button
to select target folder was added in the export page of the parameter
data file. |
New |
|
QC tables
can be saved directly from within the Boiling Point table. This avoids
the use of third party applications such as Notepad. |
New |
|
Location
of parameter and system files can be configured from within the
application. This avoids the use of third party applications such as
Notepad |
New |
|
Method
ASTM-D7398 was added. |
New |
|
User-define validation conditions were added to the parameter data file.
