Reaction Wizard - Step 5 - Reaction View Configuration

Step 5 of the reaction wizard configures the reaction view settings. The overall appearance of the main reaction view can be configured here. This is the last step of the wizard and by clicking the Finish-button the reaction setup will be completed. The user will be prompted to save the reaction configuration.

Changing the configuration later on...
The last step of the wizard is used to set up the basic view configuration. All view configuration options will still be available in the reaction view and can be edited while the reaction is running!

Step 5 shows the following dialog:

Reaction View Configuration

Runtime View Configuration

Configures the display options for all data views during runtime. The following options are available:

  • Moving Time Window:
    Shows a time window with the selected "size" centered around the current time. For example: The moving time window is configured to 40 seconds and the current reaction time is 2:20. The views will then show the reaction time from 2:00 to 2:40, or will show all the data that has been acquired in that time period.

  • Last N Samples:
    Configures the overlay view to show the last N samples of the reaction. For example: Setting this to 5 will show the last five samples. Dependent on the Every Nth Sample parameter these may not be the actual last five consecutive samples since the "Every Nth" filter is applied before the "Last N" filter (e.g. Samples -> EveryNth -> LastN). For example: Setting "Last N" to 5 and "Every Nth" to 1 will show the actual last five samples that have been measured. Setting "Last N" to 6 and "Every Nth" to 2 will show the samples 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12.

  • Every Nth Sample:
    Configures the view to only show every Nth sample. For example: Setting this to 10 will only show the first, tenth, twentieth etc. sample. The total number of spectra that are accumulated in the overlay view is defined by the "Last N" parameter as described above.

Show Trend View

Activate this option to show the trend view in the reaction window. This option is enabled by default and should stay enabled for most cases since it shows the graphical representation of the trend evaluation. The time unit of the trend view x-axis can also be configured here. Please review the section Trend View for a detailed description.

Show Overlay View

Activate this option to show the measured sample spectra in an overlay view. Dependent on the configuration the relevant spectra will be added to a single spectrum view and all spectra in the view will be displayed overlayed. The configuration options for this view include the activation/deactivation of the first, current and outlier samples. This option is enabled by default. Please review the section Overlay View for a detailed description.

Show 3D View

Activate this option to show the sample spectra in a 3D-view. The sample spectra will be displayed with an additional time axis to form a three-dimensional graph. The 3D-display can be configured three different modes: Perspective, Waterfall and Topview. Please refer to the sections 3D Data View, 3D Top View and 3D Waterfall View in the chapter Data Views for a description of the different modes. Additional information can be found in the section 3D View. This option is enabled by default.

Show Report View

Activate this option to show additional information about the reaction run in a grid view. The reaction data will be presented in a table with each new sample being added as a new table row. The report grid option is enabled by default. The basic sample information ( sample name, time recorded, trend data ) can be complemented by additional data:

  • Show Measurement Date: Adds an additional column to the table which holds the detail measurement time and date of the sample.

  • Show Sample Names: Adds an additional column to the table which holds the full sample name of the sample.

  • Show Phase Information: Adds a separating row to the table if a new reaction phase begins. This helps to visually separate the different phases in the table.

  • Show Comments: Inserts the comments that have been entered during the reaction run in the table.

Please review the section Report View for a detailed description.

Show Trend Monitor View

Activating this option will add a large numerical representation of the trend evaluation to the reaction window. This can be useful if the trend values need to be monitored from a greater distance to the computer display. Additional information can be found in the section Trend Monitor View.

Show Log View

If activated, this option shows an additional view with activity information about the reaction run. Please review the section Log View for a detailed description.

Finalizing the Reaction Configuration

By clicking the Finish-button the reaction setup will be completed. The user will be prompted to save the reaction configuration as *.reactionConfig file to the file system. The newly created reaction will automatically be added to the Reaction Monitoring menu entries Run Reaction and Process Reaction with active Spectra.
