The MSD Productivity ChemStation software controls data acquisition, performs data review, library searches, and quantitation, and generates selected reports via methods or sequences. It offers a number of productivity tools for data processing, as well as two levels of access control to the system.
The MSD Productivity ChemStation software controls data acquisition, processing, and reporting for Agilent GC and MSD instruments. It runs on IBM‑compatible PCs with Windows operating systems and supports up to four instruments (maximum two MSDs).
The manual details hardware requirements, supported operating systems and instruments, printer compatibility, and provides guidance on using the Instrument Control, Data Analysis, and Tuning views, as well as eMethod functionality for sharing and importing methods.
