A LabVIEW® program library that can access the chromatographic and mass spectrometric data stored in Hewlett-Packard (HP) Chemstation data files is described. The programs in the library can be used to extract total ion chromatograms or selected ion chromatograms. More importantly, a program is provided that will display an intensity graph of all mass values for every time in the chromatogram. This display of the data from a single file is used to illustrate the quantitative and qualitative power of gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS, a so-called hyphenated analytical chemistry technique). © 1998 National Instruments.
