Create or Open Files, Windows, and Templates

There are several ways to open or create files, windows, and templates. Frequently, additional information is required, also.

For example, when you open a control panel, the control panel searches "its" timebase, i.e., the correct link between the client PC and a certain chromatography system (Timebase) and each method window searches data from a specific Datasource.

 

 Tips:

If problems arise, they mainly occur because timebases or datasources were renamed that were correctly installed before by Dionex Service.

Similar problems may occur if databases are located on a network PC to which you currently cannot connect or for which you do not have share authorization.

In this case, refer to How to …: Working with Files, Databases, and Networks  Connecting a Datasource in the Administrator Help section.
