Save As Dialog (Sequence, Chromatogram, Calibration, Method)

This is a universal dialog for saving files where the new name can be entered or a new directory selected. As it differs somewhat in appearance from the standard window for file selection of the Windows operating system, it is described in more detail below.

Save As Dialog

Icons in the upper right corner ⓐ serve for quick navigation through useful folders, e.g. Data, Calib, Common. What folders are shown here depends on the currently opened dialog, as stated in the following table:

Icons for navigating through folders

Note:

There are some other Save As dialogs, which do not contain any of the specified icons in the right upper corner ⓐ.

List of files

Displays all files of the selected File Type from the previously opened directory.

Files are sorted and displayed according to the previous settings. The layout can be changed using the button to access the Detailed View. In the Detailed View layout, you can change the sorting order by clicking on the header cell of the desired column. Repeated clicking reverses the order. The type and method of file sorting is indicated by a small arrow next to the column name.

The mode in which the files are displayed and the ordering method are automatically saved in the current desktop file (*.DSK).

Note:

In the non-protected mode all settings are the same for the entire station. However, in the protected mode, each user may have a dedicated *.DSK file.

File Name

The name of the selected file. It can be entered directly or selected from the list of file names. When the name is being entered directly, only files whose names begin with the characters already entered will be displayed. The files and directories matching the already entered letters in the actual directory will be shown in the listbox on the File Name row.

Note:

If a file of that name already exists and has been opened on other Instrument or window, the name cannot be used. Moreover, in the protected mode , a user may not overwrite a file they are not entitled to modify (see the User Account command).

Note:

If you search for files containing only some characters, enter an asterisk (* - which stands for any number of characters) or several question marks (? - substitutes for a single character) before those characters.
