Home Page Settings

 

From the ProMass Home Page Settings menu you can choose to:

 Show or Hide the ProMass console.  The default setting is Show.  The ProMass console window is active whenever ProMass is processing data.  When set to Show, the ProMass console will be displayed as the foreground window on the desktop.  If set to Hide, the ProMass console will run in a minimized state, available from the windows task bar.  You may find it useful to set this option to Hide during automatic processing if you want to avoid having the console constantly pop up while you are trying to perform other Windows tasks.

 Set the ProMass Task Priority to Normal or Low. The default setting is Normal.  Setting the task priority to Low may be useful if you want to automatically process data while acquiring data and want to prevent ProMass from consuming excessive system resources.

 Show or Hide Error Messages.  The default setting is Show.  You may find the Hide error messages setting to be useful when performing automated processing, which will allow ProMass to continue processing samples even after an error has occurred.  With Error Messages setting set to Show, when ProMass encounters an error that prevents processing of a sample, a dialog prompt is displayed, temporarily halting processing of the data until the user clicks on the OK button within the dialog box.  Alternatively, the Hide setting will instruct ProMass to log the error and to continue processing the remaining samples in the list.  Any errors that have been logged can be reviewed by accessing the Tools | Error Logs | View menu item from the ProMass Home Page.
