Parameter Files

  In 21CFR11 environments, this section is applicable only to members of the Developer group; however, members of the Analyst group may find information in this section helpful. Parameter file information that is available to Analysts is created by a member in the Developer group using information in this section.

Parameter files allow for repeated use of parameter sets. For example, if the same analysis conditions exist for multiple analyses, an Analysis Conditions file containing the recurring conditions can be created. When the sample file is created, the Analysis Conditions file can be selected for the analysis conditions. Once it becomes part of the new sample file, the new file can be edited as needed without affecting the original Analysis Conditions file.

Methods include both analysis conditions and report options, offering the most convenient way to repeat most analyses.

Predefined parameter files are included with the program and can be edited, as needed, or new parameter files can be created.

The following file types can exist as part of the sample file as well as individual parameter files.

Parameter File Types
File Type File Extension
Adsorptive Properties .ADP
Analysis Conditions .ANC
Degas Conditions .DEG
Method .MTH
Report Options .RPO
