others.ini file
The others.ini file located in the Clarity installation directory (C:\CLARITY\Cfg by default). It contains keys for in-depth tuning of the Clarity Chromatography Station. The file in plain text format, is structured into sections introduced by brackets, e.g. [General]. Each section can contain keys with values. Some sections are dependent on specific control modules and description of their keys can be found in appropriate manuals.
Note:
Use e.g. Notepad program to edit this file. Using MS Word may result in destroying the proper format of the file.
Lines starting with semicolon (;) are comments.
[General]
The parameters common to all acquisition modules are set in this section.
Sets the length of the pulse in ms. Pulse on selected digital output of the A/D converter can be triggered by specified event from the Event Table found in the Method Setup - Event Table dialog (for more details see also chapter Event Table)
Set the Use60Hz parameter to 1 if the power supply frequency in your country is 60Hz (countries in both Americas). Default setting 0 indicates the 50Hz power supply frequency (rest of the world).
Sets the hysteresis (minimal necessary change) value of the detector signal as an input of the event enabling to trigger the event again. For the detector signal, the value is set in mV or equivalent units as set in configuration of acquisition device. Events are usually defined in the Event Table found in the Method Setup - Event Table dialog (for more details see also chapter Event Table)
EventThresholdAuxPressure = 0.01
Sets the hysteresis value of the Auxiliary Signal for Pressure as an input of the event enabling to trigger the event again. For the Auxiliary Signal for Pressure, the value is set in MPa and the default value is 0.01. Events are set in the Event Table found in the Method Setup - Event Table dialog.
EventThresholdAuxTemperature = 1
Sets the hysteresis value of the Auxiliary Signal for Temperature as an input of the event enabling to trigger the event again. For the Auxiliary Signal for Temperature, the value is set in degrees Celsius and the default value is 1. Events are set in the Event Table found in the Method Setup - Event Table dialog.
Sets the hysteresis value of the Auxiliary Signal for Flow as an input of the event enabling to trigger the event again. For the Auxiliary Signal for Flow, the value is set in mL/min and the default value is 0.01. Events are set in the Event Table found in the Method Setup - Event Table dialog.
Sets the hysteresis value of the Auxiliary Signal for Current as an input of the event enabling to trigger the event again. For the Auxiliary Signal for Current, the value is set in mA and the default value is 1. Events are set in the Event Table found in the Method Setup - Event Table dialog.
Sets the hysteresis value of the Auxiliary Signal for Voltage as an input of the event enabling to trigger the event again. For the Auxiliary Signal for Voltage, the value is set in V and the default value is 1. Events are set in the Event Table found in the Method Setup - Event Table dialog.
Sets the hysteresis value of the Auxiliary Signal for Power as an input of the event enabling to trigger the event again. For the Auxiliary Signal for Power, the value is set in W and the default value is 1. Events are set in the Event Table found in the Method Setup - Event Table dialog.
Sets the hysteresis value of the Auxiliary Signal for type Other as an input of the event enabling to trigger the event again. For the Auxiliary Signal for type Other, the value is set as defined by user and the default value is 1. Events are set in the Event Table found in the Method Setup - Event Table dialog.
Tests the completeness of data from the A/D converter. When set to 1 Clarity will report any lost packets to the BADTRACE.TXT file located in the Clarity installation folder (C:\CLARITY\Cfg\Debug_Logs by default).
Shows the date of the first running of the station after installation.
[PDA]
Specifies how many vertices will 3D view of PDA data use for display. The lower the value, the faster the PDA 3D view will render but the more degraded will be resulting image quality. Higher value will give better quality but slow responsiveness. Warning: setting value too high can cause communication failures with hardware and/or "Virtual memory too low." error. Default value is 120000.
