Upload Compound Entry from PC
1) Single Compound Entry Description
A single Compound list entry will take place in the following manner:
<memslot> <list#> <
”Compound name” > <Response Factor> <Alarm Level> <Formula Weight>
<CR> <LF>
where:
a) memslot = keyword that must appear at the start of every line in order for DataFID to
recognize an entry.
b) list# = Compound number in the list.
c)
”Compound name” = 21 character (max) Compound description that must be surrounded
by quotes (" ").
d) Response Factor =
e) Alarm Level =
f) Formula Weight =
g) CR LF
= Carriage Return and Line Feed are accomplished by pressing the ‘Enter’ key at the
end of each line.
NOTE: <> are used as separators and are NOT included in the text file.
2) Example Compound File
The following is an example of how a compound file will look with multiple Compound list
entries:
memslot 1 "Methane " 1.0 1000.0 16.0
memslot 2 "Hexane" 0.9 200.0 8.7
memslot 3 "Methane2" 1.0 1000.0 16.0
memslot 4 "Propanol" 1.6 500.0 6.1
memslot 5 "Isobutyl" 4.3 750.0 27.8
memslot 6 "Benzene" 7.9 250.0 37.9
3) Sending the compound list file from a PC to the DataFID.
The following is a PC screen snapshot of how a Compound list text file is sent from a PC to the
DataFID:
a) The first step is to open a PC terminal program such as Hyper Terminal.
b)
The next step is to select ‘Send Text File’ from the ‘Transfer’ menu.
c) Find the previously created Compound text file and select it by choosing the ‘Open’
