Chromatography Forum

I have been experimenting with different HPLC parameters for testing RDX on an Agilent 1200 series LC. When I finish a single run, Chemstation gives me a nice summary report on the screen, which I can then print. This report includes peak areas, RTs, etc. as well as the chromatograms at whatever wavelengths I specify for my DAD. How would I go about getting this report into a form that I can email out or save to my computer? I can access the data file in the data analysis screen and look at the chroms, I just don't know how to bring up and save it in the form I get it in right after I stop the run. When I hit print report it brings it back up on the screen. I suppose this is a txt file. Any thoughts?

If you look at the top menu there is a report tab. Choose specify report. You will see options
on how to save. Try saving as a .pdf and then take a look at it. You can also specify different types of reports (short, long etc) that will save different parameters.

OK, I've got it now. I was able to specify report and save the next run as .pdf. But this only seems to work for new runs. I still don't see how to do this if you did not specify a .pdf report prior to running the sample.

Hmmm... seems to me that you can open the file in your offline version and specify .pdf then choose print. I thought it would then pdf the open file. Did you try? I'll go try it myself.
