Accessing Training Session Materials
- Prior to attending the training session, install the data analysis software on the computer you expect to use when doing data analysis. This does not have to be the computer controlling your GC/MS instrument. Once the software is installed, it can only be used on the computer it is installed on.
- Download and install Ion Signature Quantitative Deconvolution Software
- Once the software has been installed, call IST for an unlocking code. Because the unlocking code is specific and time sensitive to the computer it will be installed on, install the software Monday through Friday between 9 AM and 5 PM, Eastern Standard Time.
- Click My Computer on your desk top.
- Scroll to the IFD folder, where you will find three folders and a data base,
- The Docs folder contains two PDF files:
- IFDgs, which is a short tutorial entitled Getting Started
- IFDug, which is the user’s guide
- It also contains a Word file, which is a very short tutorial
- Print the user’s guide, IFDug, prior to attending the training session. This document will be used to learn the software.
