molecule.list

Specify bulb contents

Syntax:

manifold bulb size molecule balance balance-chi [ tracer tracer-chi ]

Options:

The following parameters should be specified on each line:

manifold

The manifold to which the bulb is attached, integer number

bulb

The number of the bulb, integer number

size

The volume of the bulb, in liters

molecule

The molecule of interest which the bulb contains (standardized text field)

balance

The balance gas in the bulb

balance-chi

The ratio of molecule to balance gas

tracer

The tracer molecule (usually F12)

tracer-chi

The ratio of the tracer to balance gas (if present)

Examples:

man1  bulb2  4.5  ethane  N2  0.01  F12  0.005

Description:

molecule.list is used to specify the contents of all bulbs attached to the system for injection of reagents. This information is read by the drext and injected into the ASCII output stream, which is further read by dataRecv and then stored in "run.def" on the Linux side, which can then be used by the data analysis scripts.

Manifold and bulb numbers are standardized by the experimenter.

See also:

• run.def, where this information is finally stored for reference by analysis scripts
• dataRecv, the receiver on the Linux side which reads the info and puts it in run.def
• cmd, the command server
• drext, the extraction tool which extracts the telemetry stream, but also sets stream parameters, based on run.schedule and this file
