HOW TO RUN THE APPLICATION:
- Run Chromstation-1.0.0.py from your IDLE.
- The First thing you'll see is dashboard with buttons on left and a graph on right.
- The graph shows the previously collected data in online mode.
- The four buttons on left are Online Mode, Review Mode, Overlay Mode and Calibration Mode(from top to bottom).
- This project was developed in Inovative Sensor Section; SIS Division; Electronics and Instrumentation Group, IGCAR-Kalpakkam.
- The further Details of respective operative modes is given below:
ONLINE MODE:
- The online mode is for data acquisiton from the Chromatogram.
- It has been programmed to recognize certain signals from the hardware that indicate the start of chromatogram.
- For changes in signal recognition please look into input_new_device.py.
- For more comprehensive explaination on how to use the software please visit :
REVIEW MODE
- To load a graph in Review mode, refer to the samples provided in Sample data.
- If you drag under the peak using mouse, you'll get the computed area of the peak in Area box.
- There are options to naviagate directly to calibration page for further linear analysis.
CALIBRATION MODE
- You'll see a tablulated layout in this page
- Click on the Analyte button to set name for the analyte.
- Put analyte concentraion and corresponding area of peak under Analyte and Area column respectively.
- Now after putting known concentraions, click on units to put the units of the concentration.
- Click on Calibrate to generate linearly regressed curve and to visualize the curve click on plot.
- For further details on calibration parameteres click on details.
- Now if u insert an area to an unknown concentration and press enter, on the corresponding column you'll get the calculated concentration.
OVERLAY MODE
- In overlay mode there is option to overlay 5 graphs at a time.
- The graphs are overlayed on an absolute scale for relative overlay, preprocess the data.
