Acquisition
Sets the measuring conditions. When the menu command or 
icon is invoked, the Method Setup - Acquisition dialog will be opened. The type of items displayed depends, in part, on the type of A/D converter that has been installed (or the type of chromatograph used while using direct digital acquisition). Be aware that parameters cannot be changed during analysis! The type of the A/D converter along with the name of the detector can be seen in the upper part of the tab.
Note:
At the beginning of the acquisition Clarity performs calibration of the A/D converter. Depending on the type of the converter (INT9, U-PAD2, Colibrick, etc.) and Sample Rate the first 20 - 200 ms of the chromatogram will not contain valid data.
Selects between the individual detectors in case several detectors are configured on the same Instrument (multi-detector configuration).
Caution:
When using a multi-detector configuration, it is necessary to set the parameters individually for each detector.
Enables/disables signal selected in the Select Detector field.
Selects the voltage input range (in mV) and defines the maximum output voltage of the detector that the A/D converter can process.
Specifies the sample rate (ranging from 6,3 to 480 samples per second, depending on the converter used) of a chromatogram. The selected sample rate will affect the ability to measure very narrow peaks. Sufficient number of samples (about 20) is a prerequisite for successful peak detection. This parameter decides on the size of the resulting chromatogram and the speed of its processing.
Note:
Available sampling speeds may change with the acquisition equipment used (INT7, INT9, U-PAD, U-PAD2, Colibrick, Net-PAD, digital collection directly from the chromatograph, etc.).
