The Notes tab

Notes are descriptive comments that form part of the method documentation. Method templates are supplied with notes describing the system requirements for running the method. Read through these notes carefully before using a method.

There are four sub-tabs:

• Method Notes

• Start Notes

• Run Notes

• Evaluation Notes

Only the Method Notes can be edited from the Method Editor; the other notes are accessible at the respective stages in a run.

We recommend that you use Method Notes to describe the system setup required by the method (for example eluent and sample inlets, outlets and column connections).

Use the Start Notes or Run Notes for run-specific information.

Note: Method Notes are saved with the method and apply to all runs made with the method.

To write method notes in your own methods, place the cursor in the white area of the Notes tab and type the relevant text. Use standard Windows editing functions to edit the notes.

You can search for text strings in the method notes. The table below describes how to perform a search.
