Using theWindows Scheduler program to trigger
PeakSimple's Autosampler queue
TheWindows Task Scheduler program is sup–
pliedwith theWindows operating system. It is
found under Programs/Accessories/System
T0015.The Scheduler allows you to trigger a
PeaKSimple Autosampler Queue or a specific
control file at a scheduled time and date, or on
a regular repeating basis using the computers
system clock ( time/date ).
When you click on the Add ScheduledTask
icon in the Scheduler program, aWIZard wi ll
guide you through the process. When you get
to the screenwhere you specifywhich program
to start, enter the fol lowing line modified for
your particular situation:
c:\peak2000\peak2000.exe -etest.que
C:\peak2000 is the folder or directory where
the PeakSimple software has been installed. If
you have installed PeakSimple in a different
folder, substitute the name of your PeakSimple
folder.
peak2000.exe is the name of the actual Peak–
Simple software program. If you have installed
PeakSimpie under a different name ( Iater ver–
stone of PeakSimpiemay in fact have a differ–
ent name) use the name of the PeakSimple
program as it exists on your computer.
test.que is the name of the Autosampler queue
filewhich you must have previously created in
PeakSimple. Note that the -amust precede
the name of the .que file. When you create
the .que file in PeakSimpie you can save the
que under any name you want. The
-a
is a
Windows programming convention and must
precede the nameof the que file you want to
run.
When the Scheduler starts PeakSimple, the
specified queuewi ll begin. At the end of the
queue, PeakSimptewi ll wait for the delay time
specified in the queue, and then PeakSimple
wi ll Close automatically.
