Vx Acquisition

"The tabbed user interface for tuning, method set up and feedback is easy to navigate and master. Vx has the pleasant surprise of contextual help that is informative and useful--a real benefit for the infrequent user.
Enhanced real time chromatogram display options valuable in a teaching environment include the ability to plot the TIC and multiple selected ion chromatograms concurrently, and being able to move back and forth through acquired spectra while scanning."

"Vx is easy to use and very reliable. Controlling your GC/MS system can be as easy as using a CD player. This versatile program allows you to control your GC/MS and autosampler with one program. Files can be automatically converted to ChemStation for quantitation and library searches. The reliability of this program has allowed us to optimize our productivity. We have been using it for a few months now, and haven't lost a single run due to a software issue. I highly recommend Vx for acquiring GC/MS data."
