Libraries contain any analytical
data and related information. Data is categorized by the data
type of the objects inserted
into a library. In order to increase search speed later on, data types
can be fixed to pre-defined properties. Incoming data will be adapted
to these properties automatically.
General settings apply to the location and name of a library on your
local hard disc.
File
The full path and file name plus extension of the library file must
be entered into the text field. By default a file name similar to "C:\.Libraries\NewLibrary.library"
is proposed.
"Panorama Data\Libraries"
default path.
The default path for libraries is personalized to the current operating
system user. It is located in the "My Documents" folder of the
current user.
If you do not like to enter a path and file name, you are free to use
the path selection button to the right of the text field to navigate
to an appropriate place.
Name
This is meant to be the displayed name of the library in the library
explorer. It will be synchronized with the file name automatically.
Description
A description for the library can be entered optionally. The description
should contain a brief summary of the contents of the library. It will
be displayed as tool tip help on the library node in the library explorer.
Copyright
The author of a library is free to enter a copyright notification for
copy protected libraries. The copyright notice will be displayed, whenever
data from the protected library is shown in the software or data is printed.
Each incoming data object can either be inserted into a library as it
is or it can be adapted to some user defined parameters given below. Setting
the imported spectra to a fixed resolution will speed up searching later
on, but data will be modified for this purpose on upload and original
data is lost.
Fixed IR spectrum resolution
Incoming spectral data of the type IR spectrum will be converted into
an equidistant data object with a user defined fixed resolution. The resolution
can be selected either from the drop down box or a user defined value
can be entered.
The unit is converted into wave numbers [1/cm] automatically.
Fixed UV spectrum resolution
Incoming spectral data of the type UV spectrum will be converted into
an equidistant data object with a user defined fixed resolution. The resolution
can be either selected from the drop down box or a user defined value
can be entered.
The unit is converted into wavelength [nm] automatically.
