Translating ChemStation Samples
Chromeleon uses all information available for the ChemStation (CS) sample to create a new sample with the same name. If the new sample is imported into an existing sequence, the sample is appended to the sequence. Existing samples will not be overwritten.
Unlike Chromeleon, ChemStation does not provide a sequence context for the single samples. That is why the sample information is gathered from raw data, instrument diagnosis, macros, and the LOG files.
The table below lists the properties that are available for a ChemStation sample and their equivalents in Chromeleon:

If you did not specify the ChemStation method to be used, all methods used for the imported samples will be imported. If one of these methods does not exist, Chromeleon generates a standard QNT Method.
