User Variables

This article describes how to set Analysis and Method User Variables which can be subsequently used in User Columns calculations. Analysis User Variables can be defined in Single Analysis or Sequence window. Method User Variables can be defined in Method Setup window.

 

A) Setting of Analysis User Variables in Single Analysis window

1. In Single Analysis dialog navigate to the User Variables tab ⓐ.
2. Define Name of the variable ⓑ. If the field is left empty, default name AnalysisUserVar1-AnalysisUserVar3 will be used.
3. Define numerical Value of the variable ⓒ.

B) Setting of Analysis User Variables in Sequence window

1. In Sequence window the AnalysisUserVar1 - AnalysisUserVar3 columns are hidden by default.
2. To display them right-click on the Seqeunce Table and use Setup Columns... command.
3. Select the variable in the Hide Columns list ⓓ, fill its name ⓔ and click Show ⓕ (item will be move to the Show Columns list ⓖ).

C) Setting of Method User Variables in Method Setup window

1. In the Method Setup dialog navigate to Advanced tab
2. Define Name, numerical and Value of the variables that should be used ⓙ. Default name MethodUserVar1-MethodUserVar3 is used when the Name is empty.

D) Setting of User Columns with User Variables
