Export Chromatogram

Exports chromatographic curve into AIA (*.CDF), text (*.TXT), Multidetector text (*.CHR) or EZChrom ASCII (*.ASC) format. Using the command invokes the Export Chromatogram dialog.

Chromatogram containing unsaved modifications will be saved before exporting. Export is logged in the Audit Trail.

Export Chromatogram

Chromatogram

Name of the exported chromatogram including its full path. This field serves for informational purposes only and cannot be modified.

File Format

Selects one of the available formats for export:

• AIA Format (*.CDF) - is one of the standard formats used for exchanging data among various chromatography systems. Multidetector chromatograms will be exported to multiple files, each signal into a separate file distinguished by the name of the detector. Clarity only exports raw data and basic chromatogram description, no results, method data, calibration data or GLP data are exported into the AIA Format.

Note:

Further information about AIA format can be found for example in following article: Terrance A. Rooney - "STANDARDS FOR CHROMATOGRAPHY DATA SYSTEMS", Today's Chemist at Work, 1998, 7(5), 15-17.

• Following text formats (Multidetector Text Format (*.CHR), Text Format (*.TXT), EZ Chrom ASCII Format (*.ASC)) will contain a header and exported data in two columns separated by an arbitrary separator (TAB, COMMA, SEMICOLON).
• Multidetector Text Format (*.CHR) - will always contain all available signals in a single exported file.
• Text Format (*.TXT) - Multi-detector chromatograms will be exported to multiple files, each signal into a separate file distinguished by the name of the detector. Signals generated by the Auxiliary devices can be exported using the .TXT format - Auxiliary Signals will be listed in the Detector combobox.
• EZ Chrom ASCII Format (*.ASC) - is a text format used by EZ Chrom software. Comparing to the Text Format the data are exported in one column only (voltage), separator can be <TAB> only and the structure of the header is slightly different.

Detector

Selects the signals for export. An individual detector, or all detectors at once can be selected. Only for AIA and EZChromASCII Format.

Field Separator

Selects the character to be used as data separator. Only for Multidetector Text Format and Text Format.

Decimal Separator

Selects the character to be used as decimal separator. Only for Multidetector Text Format and Text Format.

Character Encoding

You can chose to export Chromatogram using ANSI or Unicode (UTF 8) encoding. Only for Multidetector Text Format and Text Format.

Export to File

Specifies the path and file name for the exported chromatogram. You can enter the path manually or use the button to browse for the destination folder.

If the field is not active and the export results in multiple files (e.g., export of a multisignal chromatogram), it displays the path and the common part of the file names, with the variable part replaced by an asterisk (*).

File Name(s)

Shows the final names of the exported files, including any appended signal names.
