The Control Panel
Control Panel: The Audit Trail

The Audit Trail on a Control Panel logs all commands performed during sample processing and saves information regarding the entire system. This includes graphical and text information. Chromeleon classifies Control Commands, status information, and error messages.

When data acquisition is started, the Audit Trail reports the start time and all commands that are performed afterward (AcqOn/Off, Inject, etc.).

Each event that appears in the Audit Trail is stored. Storage is very precise and comprehensive, allowing you to track how a sample was processed and which events occurred during sample processing. For more information, refer to Data Management  Audit Trails.

For documentation purposes, the  Sample Audit Trail is included in a report, by default. For more information, refer to  Displaying an Audit Trail.
