Signals Notebook: What Are the Planned Columns in the Reactants Table?

Description

The Planned columns in the Reactants table (Planned Mass, Planned Volume, Planned Eq, and Planned Moles) are used to capture the intended stoichiometry values for a reaction before experiment execution.

These columns provide a snapshot of the planned reactant amounts, allowing users to compare the original reaction plan with the actual values used during execution.

Using Planned Columns

       To record planned values:

1. Enter the intended stoichiometry values in the standard Reactants table columns, such as Sample Mass, Volume, Eq, and Amount Ratio.
2. Open Table Settings and select Record Planned Amounts.
3. Signals Notebook copies the current stoichiometry values to the corresponding Planned columns.
4. Continue experiment execution and update the standard Reactants table columns with the actual measured values, as needed.

       To remove the recorded planned values:

1. Open Table Settings.
2. Select Clear Planned Amounts.

Notes

• Planned columns are read-only and are not calculated automatically.
• Planned columns can be shown or hidden using the table column settings.
• Planned columns are system-defined and cannot be disabled, removed, or made editable.
